Paul and Lori Thomas, founders of Hope Village, Inc, are the parents of seven children. Four of the children came to the family through adoption. Paul and Lori have been advocates for children in foster care and adoption since 1990, and Lori speaks around the country on these issues. Lori, together with Michael Trout of the Infant-Parent Institute in Illinois, co-authored The Jonathon Letters. This book is the story of one family as they took in, and learned to love, a child with Reactive Attachment Disorder.
