Passage Five
In the United States the family plays an important role in most holiday activities. November is National Adoption Month. We visit with an American family that has an extra special reason to celebrate this year.
It’s not Mary Webster’s birthday. It is the day that she is adopted. She came to the Webster family about two years ago. When her new mother held Mary, she knew Mary would some day be part of their family.
Mary’s birth mother was fighting drug addiction. Webster’s were never sure if the birth mother would want to have Mary back.
The Webster’s were foster parents. It is not known how long the child will stay. No attention is paid to the emotions of the foster parents and the child. Once the birth mother has no more claim on the child, the foster family can adopt the child.
