Not even during a pandemic will we at All in the Family of Adoption forget about Veronica Brown. We hope that she, the entire Brown family, and all of our readers are safe and in good health during these especially challenging times.
Today, let’s all take a moment and think of Veronica Brown and wish her a very happy 11th birthday. She is one year closer to being able to make her own decision about who she considers her family and where she wants to live. We also send our thoughts to Dusten, Robin, their young son, 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 assured 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. One of our readers left a comment that in South Carolina Ronnie will be free to make her own choice at age 17 rather than 18. 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.

I think of Ronnie Brown and her family often and hope she is in her Heavenly Father’s hand constantly until she can be with her earthly father again.
Thank you for keeping a candle burning for her.
Amy,
You are most welcome. Our blog will continue to remember Veronica each year on her birthday, and of course if there are any other updates on this story.
Thank you for keeping Ronnie in your heart and for leaving a comment.
I am sorry for the lost years of Ronnie not being able to be raised by her father. And I am sorry that she has a mother who thought she’d be better off being raised by strangers. The sadness at the injustice of it all returns to me, year after year. I fervently pray she has a chance to someday experience the fierce love of her father, a love that made him fight so hard for her. Happy 11th birthday, Ronnie Brown.
