My nieces, Darby and Keelin Bailey, ages four and five, were so much looking forward to the kids coming. When their Berkshire Country Day School teachers came for a home visit they said, we re going to get cousins through adoption. They live next door, and they love being big cousins. They love to tell Blaze and Baylee what to do, said Tammy. Now the twins attend pre-school where the Tavernias hope they will perfect their mastery of the English language.
Adoption is such a great thing.
There are so many kids in America and overseas who need a home. We could have gone the route of my getting all sorts of fertility treatments but for us it felt more natural to go with adoption, said Tammy, who added that she hopes to adopt another child at some time. I m so glad the postal service drew attention to adoption with a special stamp. People should know there are options if you want to have a family , Tammy said. The arrival of these new town residents was celebrated at a presentation of the adoption stamp held at the East Otis Post Office a couple of weeks ago.
