  2. I really enjoyed your humor at the beginning, and how you said the people who we are related to aren't our only family. I was blown away with your personal story.

  3. I love how you emphasized adoption. Adoption is really showing love, and I like how you emphasized that more than other forms of love. A lot of people don't know how many kids are adopted, so I'm glad you mentioned it! Good job!

  15. Ally,
    You had a very strong, compelling voice that drew in the listener. This is a very bold topic to attempt to conquer, and I think you did a great job. Adoption is a very controversial topic, and you hit the nail on the head by comparing it to the comfortability of our lives, and the confidence we find in the love of our families. Thank you also for the reminder that everyone is deserving of love.
