 My name is Virginia, and I'm 56 years old, born down at the Jersey Shore, been a Jersey girl all my life, went to Rutgers, and I currently live in Short Hills. Before I came over here, I heard that I would be hosted by a family named the Roryston family, but I mean, I didn't really know what to expect, and I haven't met anybody from this family then, so when I came over, she took me in. Sometimes these kids come over and they don't have the best situation, but Ginny actually treats them as if they're her own children. She calls them her sons. My mom, Virginia, she really helped me a lot, because when I came over here, I was able to speak English, but I had a really thick accent, so it was kind of difficult for me to communicate with other people, so she always encouraged me, and she kept telling me that that's not going to be a problem. For Christmas time, we were wrapping gifts, and she just wanted to make sure the kids that are biologically hers and not biologically hers, everybody had the same amount of gifts, the same amount of love, everybody always just gets the same out of her, you know? My mom is my rockstar because I didn't think that somebody would be able to take in kids, not one, two, three kids from another country, different backgrounds. She looks after us like she gave birth to us. She's my rockstar because she's like a mom, a mentor, a boss, everything all in one. I just wish, I was afraid of adoption. I have three toe-headed boys, I'm blonde, and we all look like the All-American family, and I would encourage anyone that's thinking about adopting, has the resources, and thinks they have it in their heart. Like, it is the best thing. I mean, I've done it four times, and it's just, it's so amazing. You just, people think that you are doing so much, but you're getting back so much more. And I just, I always would tell them, you're not going to fail on my watch because I know it's like to be a mom, and I took it seriously. It wasn't something, you know, I mean, I was all in.
