Dear Editor:
Thank you for featuring this heart-warming story (A family portrait, Burnaby NOW, Dec. 21). The two Burnaby moms, Lindsey and Jan, certainly exemplify the holiday spirit in their compassion to reach halfway around the world to adopt their daughters. More than 500 same-sex families in B.C. can be grateful to them for their courage in setting precedent as the first same-sex couple to win joint custody of their adopted children. And all families can empathize with their love for their children, and their message to "light a candle in the darkness."
Lise Kreps, Burnaby
