I write fiction. I make up stories. This is not one of them. This story is true. Some minor details have been altered and names changed, but the story itself is true. At some point, you won't believe it. Hell, I don't believe some of it and I was there. It's a story about crises. It's about resolution, about life prevailing. It's about adoption. This is not a step-by-step guide on how to turn lemons into lemonade. I'm not an expert in crisis management or adoption. There was plenty of the luck to make all of this happen. This is just one story. It happens to be true.
