Local Maui author Richard Piva

In extraordinary times men and women are called to do things that seem super human and beyond the extremes of the normal everyday life. This has been a look at "AMERICAS FIRST FAMILY OF ADOPTIONS" in the United States of America. This brave couple Art and Loretta Piva charted a brand new course for all Americans by starting a new quest to adopt a child from a foreign country whom they could call their "OWN." It is an example of how two people can truly make a difference in two boy’s lives that will forever be written in the annals of history as one of the most important adoptions of all time. These two people worked tirelessly long and hard to bring a richly rewarding experience to an otherwise not so well off couple of boys who's lives at birth were tragically and hideously brought forth in a "HELL' that few humans could or should ever have to see in this life.
