About dsudmanatcomcastdotnet

Eight years ago, I became a dad. Like most of you, this event changed my life. Parenthood for me has been a journey. Our first two children were conceived through IVF. The brilliant scientific minds of the 1980s gave us the miracle of life. Our second child, Simon, died when he was three months old of sudden cardiac arrest. Following his death, we established Simon's Fund (www.simonsfund.org), a charity focused on checking hearts and saving lives of children. One year later, we adopted Jaden. The adoption process was every bit as enlightening and magical. We found a little boy in Guatemala. We met him when he was six weeks old and he came home with us four months later. I've written lots of papers, briefs and articles, but never a book. I wrote this so that Jaden really understands how cool adoption is and how much we love him.
