Doug and Deanne Walker have 19 children, 10 of whom are adopted. These loving parents have been up and down and all around adoption, and seem to me to be an endless bucket of adoption knowledge and wisdom. On top of that, the Walkers are welcoming, inviting, and friendly!
This video introduces a series of articles and videos (watch for them on Tuesdays and Fridays) in which Deanne Walker shares everything from being an organized home executive to failed adoptions to finding the right agency.
