I was adopted as an infant and grew up in Southern Indiana. My adopted mother lovingly instilled in me the destiny of success. I was always fascinated with diamonds and gems, and I founded Gallery of Diamonds jewelers in Orange County, California.
In honor of my adoptive mother and the birth mother I have never known, I established the Why Mom Deserves a Diamond® contest. Every year, thousands of kids submit words of love and appreciation for the chance to win a diamond to give to their moms. Today the contest is in honor of all moms, and is the largest mothers appreciation contest in the United States.
The amazing thing about every day is we create it. I have been brave in sharing my life experiences and observations, and I hope I effect your life in a positive way.
I am the author of Adopted Like Me- Chosen to Search for a Birthmother and
In Search of Mom- Journey of an Adoptee.

so I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to my blog at its new address.

How beautiful that you created a contest to honor your mothers… Though this is my first visit to your blog and I don’t know your story yet, I am sure I am correct in assuming that both of your mothers are/were very proud of their son… I know I would be.
What a wonderful tribute…
Why thank you, Thirties! The wonderful mom I knew was my adoptive mom. My birthmother died before I had the chance to met her. The contest, however, is in honor of all moms. I’ll make sure I learn more about you.
You are very welcome. I’m sorry you weren’t able to meet your birth mother, but I am glad you had/have a wonderful Mom. It is wonderful that your run this contest in honor of all moms — what a special gift and tribute.
What a kindness, to honor mothers-all mothers, it is a kindness.
Thank you, Epstein.
Thanks for the follow, Mike! As I read your “About,” you kinda took me back to my days of romping the streets of Philly and hearing the “Robbins 8th and Walnut” commercials all the time. That was before Robbins jewelers outgrew Philly :) Looking forward to connecting!
Thank you, AR. I hope one of these days we will outgrow our city also!
Thank you for stopping by and following! I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much for checking out my artwork and following my blog :D
You are so accomplished! My husband is adopted too, and he used to be a jeweler as well! A lot in common! I love that you created a contest! Awesome.
Thanks for following my blog! I really like yours too!
Thank you, Lily! So your husband must be a pretty great guy to have so many things in common. Is he also a left- handed Pices? I’m so glad to have you as a friend and follower, Lily. I wish you the best in all that you do.
He’s a left-hand Aquarius! So close! Haha
Thank you so much, same to you!
Thanks for the follow! I really appreciate that.
