Aiden Inspires His Adopted Family

https://tourette.org/aiden-inspires-his-adopted-family/

I walk with Team Tourette because my son has given me a whole new meaning to life. We brought our boy Aiden home from the hospital on January 14, 2012. Four days earlier, he was born to parents who were unable to care for him. We were able to adopt him into our family exactly one year later and on January 14, 2013, we officially went from a family of four to a family of five.
