On June 26 2015, my wife and I entered a courtroom to adopt 2 young kids. These beautiful siblings had faced the horrors of neglect and abuse. But this day was redemption.
After 2 years and 3 months as foster parents, we crossed the line. We committed ourselves to lifelong care and responsibility for 2 more lives. With 3 biological and 2 foster children in the seats next to us, the Judge asked if we were ready to embrace this sacred task: "Now Mr. Penley, can you please explain to the court why you believe it is in the best interests of the children to be placed in your family?" Here is our reply.
