Many years ago, unbeknownst to me, a couple opened up an extra room in their home so that a pregnant woman, named Lucille, could have a safe, stable place to live during a very volatile time in her life. I imagine it was a place where she could think, plan and make decisions for her future and mine as she considered my adoption. I wished there was some way I could thank these people for the difference they made in my life by providing this time and space for Lucille.
