THE BOOK It’s been over twenty years since Mary Diane met her birth mother. The amazing story of her adoption and the events surrounding their reunion is finally in print! People who’ve heard the story told over the years have steadily urged Mary Diane to write it down so others could benefit from its tremendous message. Cotton Butterflies is now a reality! It’s More Than Just A Good Story… Cotton Butterflies is written in a fast-paced, easy style, making it ideal reading material in the waiting areas of medical and dental offices, repair shops, style salons…anywhere people have to wait for service! It includes 14 photographs, most of them full-page. You can partner with Mary Diane to distribute this story around your community, picking strategic service-oriented businesses with waiting areas and restocking when necessary! Cotton Butterflies centers on a teenager who, in a mistaken exchange for love, gave away a gift that can only be surrendered once. What follows is a riveting account of the consequences of her actions, leading to a life-or-death decision that haunted her for twenty-eight years, until one day… You can also place this unforgettable story in your local public library, as well as on the shelves of middle and high school resource centers and college libraries! At the end of the story, Mary Diane lists the telephone numbers and websites for national information centers, enabling the reader to locate the nearest crisis pregnancy center, reputable adoption search agencies, and support groups in their state.
Help Mary Diane place Cotton Butterflies into crisis pregnancy centers and adoption
search groups throughout the nation. You can assist in this goal by purchasing copies and delivering them to the pro-life ministries in your city, then keeping them re-stocked as your ongoing ministry. In Cotton Butterflies, you’ll discover how God works “behind the scenes” in our everyday lives! Mary Diane would spend summer weekends with her adoptive father’s relatives in his small hometown - the same town where Darlene and her family eventually settled, and only one street over from where Darlene was raising her children! Mother and daughter probably often passed each other in the store or on the streets of this little town, neither aware of the other’s identity! Darlene, who called her little girl “April”, later on named her second daughter Teresa Diane, not knowing that the woman who adopted little “April” also chose the middle name “Diane”! Twenty-eight years later, Darlene had no idea that the lady she was listening to faithfully every morning on a regional Christian radio station was her own daughter!
This extraordinary story also features 14 photos spanning over 60 years of the people, places, and times.
