A word from the staff: Love Makes A Family is not just our job, it is our work. It's what we're doing with our lives to try to make the world better for those who will follow us. Each of us is here because it feels like the right thing for us to be doing. We also like it when we get paid and send a big thanks to all of the Love Makes a Family members who contribute so that this is also our employment.
