November is National Adoption Month! Throughout the
month I'll feature famous folk who have been adopted!
Today’s Spotlight: Lee Majors
Culled mostly from Wikipedia:
Lee Majors was born born Harvey Lee
Yeary on April 23, 1939 and is best known for his roles as Heath
Barkley in the TV series The Big Valley, as Colonel Steve Austin in The Six
Million Dollar Man and as Colt Seavers in The Fall Guy.
His parents, Carl and
Alice Yeary, were both killed in separate accidents (prior to his birth and
when he was one year old, respectively). At age two, Majors was adopted by an
uncle and aunt and moved with them to Middlesboro, Kentucky.
Be sure to visit Abby’s Road on Facebook for more Spotlights!
“Abby’s Road, the Long and Winding Road to Adoption and how Facebook,
Aquaman and Theodore Roosevelt Helped” leads a couple through their days of
infertility treatments and adoption. It is told with gentle (and sometimes not-so-gentle)
humor from the perspective of a nerdy father and his loving and understanding
wife.
Join Mike and Esther as they go through IUIs and IFVs, as
they search for an adoption agency, are selected by a birth mother, prepare
their house, prepare their family, prepare themselves and wait for their
daughter to be born a thousand miles from home.
