Jeremy Maclin, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles,
grew up in an emotionally chaotic family until, as a sophomore in high school
he went to live with the family he says “made me what I am today.” But he
hasn't forgotten what it was like before he had a loving, secure family. Jeremy
has, therefore, declared himself a spokesman for the National Adoption Center:
for each Eagles home game, he invites an adoptive family to the game as his
guest, giving them the chance to go to the warm-up before the game and meet
with him in the locker room when the game is over. John Thomas and three of his
children, who attended the first game against Baltimore, said it was an
incredible experience, one that the children will always
remember. Seven more adoptive families will have the same
opportunity over the course of the season
(one story of which we have already shared with you).
