Media Monday: Brandon Davies

We LOVE BYU! So clearly with all the Jimmermania going on with BYU basketball, we watched the game on Saturday against SDSU. Before the game came on, Russ mentioned to me that he had read an article that Charles Abuou was adopted. All game long, I was cheering Abuou on (and he played great, by the way!). After the game, Russ looked up the article to show me. After looking for awhile, he realized he had remembered the wrong person. So, no...Charles Abuou was not adopted. However, Brandon Davies was!

Here is his story.

Here is what I like/dislike about it:
- I LOVE that it says his family is what got him to this point in life. That is so true for all of us, isn't it!
- It says that "adopting a baby, to Kathy (adoptive mom) was every bit the same as giving birth to one...Ethnic makeup was never a factor in his home.". We are going to treat the child we adopt the exact same as we do with Caden. They will be loved equally!
- I love that even though the adoptive mom wanted her son to succeed in school more than sports, she was still willing to let him explore what he liked. We can't mold our kids into who they are going to be, but we can teach them and then let them explore their interests.
