A journey that began back in 2007 culminated with a celebration filled with joy and tears at Erie County’s Family Court House on Friday, June 11, 2010. Gateway-Longview Home Finder, Lori Miazga celebrated the newest addition to her already large and loving family with the adoption of eight-year-old, Devine.
In 2007, Lori became certified to become a foster parent so that she could take Devine home and give her a safe, stable and loving family. “It doesn’t make a difference if a baby is born to you or comes to you. I got an opportunity to become a mom again at 46-years old. When I adopted Devine, it sealed the deal; she is now a part of my family. Parents have a chance to change things in this world, one child at a time,” said Lori Miazga the day she adopted Devine.
