March 1998: From cyberspace, Richard Ellis, an adoptee and graduate student in biology writes :"My adoptive parents were always open and very honest with myself and my sister as to 'where' we came from. We were allowed to grow up in a home where we knew we were loved even more due to the difficult nature of our family origins. All people need to realize that loving care and nurturing are more important factors in a child's growth than just biological relatedness! Science can now produce embryos in the laboratories, but there will never be enough science to produce the love and understanding that the act of adoption can! "
