My Home, Oxford Orphanage, Oxford, NC

Well, it is almost time for "Always an Orphan to reach the shelves in book stores. I am getting excited beyond words because this is the story about me growing up at Oxford Orphanage and learning what the word "LOVE" means. I have so many brothers and sisters and I could never count them all. They are special in every way. I wish I could go up to Oxford today and park my car on the street and run all around the grounds on the front lawn. What a beautiful place God gave us to live and grow up to care for ourselves.


You can find the book after May 31st on the shelves of Target and you can order it from Amazon. I have tried to be as honest as I could be about the writing of my life. I cried a bucket full of tears when I started the book because my family didn't want my sister, Jo Ann Adams, and me. He was more interested in buying farms to grow crops. Papa was our grandfather and after our grandmother died, he wanted to get rid of us.


I love my home and I wanted to share this story to others who have no idea what an orphanage is like. It was the best of all homes I could have lived.

God gave someone special the opportunity to build homes for orphans to live and learn a trade or go to college. That person has now given so many orphans the opportunity to grow and become citizens of our great nation, United States.
