Powerful message of abundance: Our joy does not come at anyone's expense. Your courage and love inspire me as a parent. Congratulations on your parenthood!
Wow! You can palpably feel the emotion (both up and down) as JD walks the audience through his tale of perseverance and hope. So glad the tale ends happily. Perhaps JD's message can serve as a beacon for others with the same dream. I already have two children of my own, and yet I still appreciate the reminder that some of the most important (and best) things in life require dedication, commitment, patience and persistence. Dream big. Stay hopeful. Don't let initial heartbreak discourage you.
Amazing story, JD. Powerful. So glad you kept faith for your dreams. You are inspire me. I love the phrase "dancing with the unplanned, unknown, and unpredictable." This is a great quote for life.
Such a powerful, moving story of a journey of love and parenthood. This talk gives me so much joy. It is the triumph of perseverance and the basic human desire to love, to be loved, and to build love in a family--no matter what that family looks like. Love always wins.
Such a powerful and inspiring talk. Thanks for sharing your incredible journey, JD. I know this talk will serve as encouragement and support for so many that are on a similar path.
So timely! From (before) 2007 when nowhere in the US legally supported gay marriage to 2015, when all states do, JD's journey directly mirrors our country's journey: social media, community, struggle, tolerance, partnership, inclusion, perseverance. . . love wins eventually!
48,000 kids just in CA foster care system? Why aren't more of us committed to providing loving supportive homes and families like JD and his partner Ken did? Inspirational.
What happened in the Nebraska case? What happened to the Emma's case? You were excited about Emma's kid and then you backed because her parents were not "enjoying" this?! Do you expect us to be convinced by your argument on this? What's the whole point of this story to be presented in TED?!
To listen to Dr. Schramm speak proves that love comes in many forms, and that families of all kinds can thrive under love's wide umbrella.
