With the recent Supreme Court decision that affected the legality of abortion in the United States, adoption has become one of the most talked about topics of the year. Talking about adoption has long been taboo, but it is now becoming more acceptable, and its stigma is slowly being removed.
I remember a time when many people did not know they were adopted or who their birth parents were until later in life. It usually was a big secret not openly shared amongst others. People did not talk about giving up a child because there was a shame associated with being young, unwed, and pregnant, or unable to take care of a child. Efforts to find birth parents proved difficult or impossible because the connection with them was lost, many birth parents did not want to be found out, or proper records were not kept.
But today, the situation has changed for the better. I believe people are no longer shamed into hiding if they happen upon a situation where they are not able to care for a child, and adoption offers a better solution. People learn early in life they were adopted, and contact with birth parents is often kept. If contact with the birth parents is not maintained, people can more easily find them with the help of government agencies and other resources, including DNA test sites.
The new movie Lifemark touches on adoption eloquently and beautifully. Based on a true story, David discovers that his birth mother wants to connect with him after eighteen years. He wonders whether he should pursue this new relationship and what that would mean. David’s adoptive parents allow him to make his own decisions and support him through every step. This adventure takes David into relationships that he never knew he had.
Due to its overwhelming success, Lifemark is making an extended run in theaters through September 25th and possibly adding more dates. “We are thankful this story of celebrating adoption was welcomed with open arms nationwide,” said Executive Producer and actor Kirk Cameron. “Despite the odds against a faith release such as this one, we appreciate this audience, who once again demonstrated their desire to see wholesome family entertainment.” Lifemark brought in $2.9 million in the first week in theaters.

Now playing in theaters across the country, Gigi & Nate is an inspiring new movie that shows the importance of encouragement.
Our team recently had an opportunity to preview the movie that shares the story of Nate, who suffered a near-fatal illness that left him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. With his will to live gone, Nate is encouraged by an unusual companion, a curious, cute, and intelligent Capuchin monkey named Gigi.
Gigi & Nate showed us that we all face difficult situations in life and that we need encouragement. We may see someone and wonder why they are down and discouraged or acting in a particular way. You may not know how close someone is to giving up on their dream, if they are considering suicide, or if they just lost someone close to them. We don’t need to know their situation or to fully understand what they are going through to encourage them. I challenge you to be the reason why someone smiled today and is inspired to work through difficult situations.

I sit here recuperating from COVID. I know some friends say they can’t wait until their kids start school; I have had some colleagues who have moved their kids into university and were surprised how they didn’t know how emotional it would be. In whatever stage you are in with your kid(s), I remember it was all in the schedule and what was needed for the semester. I remember my mother and grandmother taking me to the store to get school supplies on sale and that Trapperkeeper. Oh, and I couldn’t forget picking out a cool new backpack and going to JCPenney or Sears to pick up a few new outfits. I’m an only child, so it doesn’t take much for me to get excited. I was a nerd then, and I’m a nerd now, so I didn’t have many friends, and I also grew up in a strict household. Anticipating new books, I would learn new subjects, and writing in my new bright-colored notebooks was so neat. Going shopping with my mother, dad, and grandmother are memories I will never forget because I know they were looking out for me and wanting me to have everything I needed when I started school.
