Today, let’s all take a moment and think of Veronica Brown and wish her a very happy 7th birthday. She is one year closer to being able to make her own decision about whom she considers her family and where she wants to live. We also send our thoughts to Dusten, Robin, their baby boy, and the entire Brown family. I’m sure you are all thinking of Ronnie today and reliving the pain of being forced to let her go.
Many adoptees have said that the day of their birth is triggering, that they find it to be an especially painful day. With that in mind, we hope that Ronnie will be in touch with her paternal blood family on her special day, and be reminded that she is always loved by them.
And let us remind Veronica that, as stated earlier, we in adoption reform will be there to pick her up in a little red convertible if and when she decides that she wants to head back to her home state of Oklahoma. We respectfully and patiently wait to learn her wishes.
Happy Birthday, Veronica. You and the entire Brown family are always in our hearts.
N. B. Veronica’s birthday is September 15th.
Wow amazing
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that’s remembering!! Is someone really going to SC in 2027 in a Red Convertible? That’s awesome! We need a parade in that town on that day. Only 10 more years to go!
Isabel,
No, you aren’t the only one remembering, and I’m so glad you took the time to comment. The idea to do a caravan headed by a Red Convertible came from the much publicized picture of Veronica riding around in her toy car. Love your idea for a parade, although we must always keep in mind that our goal is to honor Ronnie’s wishes.
Hope to see you in 10 years!
