I’ve reunited with the television series with which I grew up, LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE.

It’s national adoption month and tonight while watching the episode where James and Casandra are brought to Walnut Grove, it struck me how many adoptions took place on LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE.  The Ingalls family and their friends and neighbors

How wonderful!

Also, the actors portraying Charles and Caroline Ingalls, Michael Landon and Karen Grassle, adopted children off-screen.

James, during his first night in the Ingalls home, “I almost forgot what it felt like… to be safe.”
