We wrote about John and Nicole Anthony on October 10 regarding the adoption resources contest they were a part of. We encouraged you, our readers, to vote for them via Facebook. They won that contest, thanks in part to your help!

Lizzie Schiffman of DNAinfo.com interviewed me (JP Paulus) to talk about how the blog impacted voting. She did a great job withthe story.
You can find the article here, entitled "Facebook Contest Helps Couple Get Closer to Dream of Adoption "
Congratulations to the Anthonys on winning and helping their next steps to building their family! And thanks to Lizzie and DNAinfo for the write-up. We will post more on them in the future, as they report on our neighborhoods!
