I was in awe of honoree Jane Aronson, an adoption medicine specialist and head of the Worldwide Orphans Foundation (WWO), and was brought to tears by the video depicting her life’s work: helping to find loving homes for orphans around the world. Dr. Aronson was visibly emotional upon accepting her award from Katie Couric, and only became even more so when Couric brought up thirty or so international children whom Aronson had helped to place in American homes to join her on stage. It was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman.
