If you have ever walked through the main hall way of Paris High School, then you have probably been past the classroom of the math teacher, Mr. Roger Thomas. If you walk in and get to know the teacher, you will probably hear about his family which consists of him and his wife, and how they have been trying to adopt a child through open adoption for about three years now. Open adoption is a type of adoption that is becoming a part of every day lives for many people in the United States. It means that the birth parents of the child are included in the child’s life along with the adoptive parents. Tiger Tales is proud to announce that this March, Mr. Thomas and his wife were finally blessed with a baby to adopt.
Sloane Harper Gracie Thomas made way into the hearts of the Thomas family in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, March 7, 2011. Sloane is Mr. Thomas’ first child, and with the first child comes changes in ones life, “I don’t sleep anymore, busy from the time I get out of bed until the time I get back in. [My life] is also more awesome, if you can believe that!” laughs Mr. Thomas.
The most difficult thing about the adoption Mr. Thomas thinks was “Probably just waiting in Pennsylvania for two weeks before we could bring her home, but it was worth it.” Mr. Thomas was away from his students for two weeks , he jokes, “I didn’t until I came back, hahaha, just kidding. I think its really cool how all the kids were asking questions and being supportive through the whole process.”
