Its funny, I was on the Holt website and wrote a quick blurb of how I felt about my experience on being adopted. I was amazed at how many people responded and read my thoughts. I started to realize that I really wanted to try and be more involved in adoption world. So I decided to apply and inquire about their summer camps. Man, I wish they had the camp when I was a kid! So I talked to the director Steve, who was amazing and applied. I am happy to say I was accepted and will be working with them this summer!!! I can't describe to you how excited I am to be apart of this camp! I think it will be life changing for me.

See I never had an adopted friend before, someone to relate to and share my experiences with! Steve said after this summer, I'll have more than I know what to do with!! Awesome!! Its hard to be all alone, to have no one to relate to, even at my age. Its crazy how all of our stories are so similar and the base of what we want is exactly the same. I realized that even in our thirties, we still have unresolved issues from being raised in all white families and all white communities. I wish there was camps for adults!! LOL
