on adoption....


Father’s day this year will have a lasting impression on Dallas Cowboys’ linebacker Demarcus Ware.
The Pro linebacker and his wife Taniqua adopted their three-month old daughter Marley after three failed pregnancies, just in time for fathers’ day.
After the stillbirth of their son Omar Ware in 2006, the Ware’s at one time felt defeated :

“That was the low point, to go to the hospital and give birth and coming home with nothing. You don’t know how to react. You’re angry, hurt, upset.”
The Ware’s finally decided to adopt this year and with the help of a friend, they were able to welcome daughter Marley, named after Demarcus’ favorite reggae artist Bob Marley, into their home.
The Wares plan to try to conceive again and have talked about becoming foster parents. In the Meantime, Demarcus and Taniqua are working with a local adoption agency for which Demarcus hopes to become a spokesman.
This is such a beautiful story...in which I can relate VERY deeply with~as I am an adpoted child as well~oh, and my darling grandson was named after the same reggae artist as well!
Love it..love it all!
