November is National Adoption Month!
Ten years ago, Grace came all the way from Chennai, India, to join the Haycraft family. Little did she know, she was also gaining a best friend in her brother, Grant.
Through Grace's adoption, Grant learned that the world is much bigger than the place we call home and that love and family have no borders. That lesson helped inspire his theme as Alabama DeMolay's State Master Councilor, “Brotherhood Without Borders – The World Is Our Chapter.”
Just like adoption brings families together, DeMolay brings young men from different places and backgrounds together through friendship and brotherhood.
And if you know Mobile Chapter, you know Grace! She's always there supporting the boys, cheering them on, and of course, cleaning up after them! 😂 She's become a special part of our chapter family.
This National Adoption Month, we celebrate Grace and the reminder that family isn't always about blood, and brotherhood knows no borders!
