Summer 2007 The Joy of Cotons "Thanks for all the hard work and effort that's gone into past issues! I didn't think they could get any better, but I think the Winter 2006 issue may by far be the best ever. Thanks too for including so much on behavior this past year. Elsa Walton's story about adopting Phoebe/Margot really got my attention - that's the first story I focused on and I've read and re-read it. I appreciate her candor and the detailing of her efforts. I hope she will include follow-ups of how they're all adjusting. What a terrific story!" "I really enjoyed Cory Williams' article.
