How Adoption Has Impacted Me.

By Noah Schultz, age 14

Jace is amazing. I couldn’t imagine anyone not loving her. She is funny, sweet, and smart too. I love her in my life. Her funny games, her innocence, and her creativity greatly enhance my life. I didn’t know what having her in our family would bring, but now I know it was for the better. She has made our lives richer. Jace has a passion for learning, playing, and takes joy from everything. Everything is new to her, so everything is fun. I love playing with her. As well as reliving my childhood, I get to see her grow and pretend all manner of things. Her favorite is the Mommy-Daddy game. She is going to be a great mom, and she is a mommy in her games. Her dolls are her babies; she cooks, changes, and loves on them. It’s beautiful. It’s been 11 months and 12 days since Jace arrived; yet I can’t imagine a world without her.
