Meghan Lewis, Cousin
" Shawn and Dawn are fun-loving, family-focused people who have a deep sense of commitment to both each other and to their loved ones. They are passionate and hard-working folks who understand the value of a job well done as well as the value of having a really good time. They have a great balance between responsibility and playfulness and would make wonderful parents to any child. Shawn is my blood cousin, and I can speak even further about his upbringing, having the benefit of living within mere miles of my grandparents, who were huge influences on both of us. I can't wait to meet their adopted child, who will be instantly a part of our family as if they were of our own flesh and blood. "
