An Adoption Story

In 1966, Cynthia Anne Henke was born and relinquished for adoption. Months later she was adopted -- her named changed to Denise Kristina. Her original birth certificate was sealed forever.

In 1994, Denise reunited with her birthparents.

In March 1997, Denise sat down with her parents to talk about their thoughts on adoption and her finding her birthparents.

god shines his love on loving families that step into a unknown childs life to give them one that they do not deserve, the life u gave ur daugther was a gift and shall be cherished along with u to your graves.

adoptees like me and your daugther, will love our families, and our lives forever.

rest in peace knowing u may have not changed the world, but u changed a bit of the future
