After a decade of recording and performing, JACK0P1ERCE has
amicably decided to part ways. From their early days at Carney’s to
the last five years of headlining venues like the Aggie Final, Texas
A&M has been one of the countries biggest supporters of
JACK0PIERCE. Cary Pierce and Jack O’Neil have decided to say
thanks to their friends in College Station with a very special
show consisting of an early all-acoustic set followed by
their traditional full-band show. On Nov. 5th, in the intimate
setting of Shadow Canyon, COLLEGE STATION WILL
EXPERIENCE A DECADE OF JACKOPiERCE...

Prospective parents must turn in
references and biographical letters
that birth parents can read. They also
must attend monthly meetings that
prepare them to raise a child.
She said she helps about 15 Texas
A&M students find adoptive parents
for their babies each year.
One of the students Lucas worked
with was Kelly. Kelly said she and Lu
cas became good friends during her
pregnancy.
Lucas gave Kelly letters and refer
ences to look dirough. Kelly said that
when she found out she was having
a girl, she knew which family she
wanted to adopt her baby.
“I had certain qualities I was
looking for in a family,” she said. “I
wanted to give my little girl to peo
ple who were financially set so the
mom could stay at home, and I did
n’t want them to have any natural
children. I didn’t want my daughter
to ever feel different.”
Kelly said she was picky wh4n she
chose a family for her baby, but she
found parents who matched every
thing she wanted for her baby.
“A letter this couple had written
kept grabbing my attention,” she
said. “I read it, and I loved them.”
Lucas set up a meeting for Kel
ly and the prospective parents,
and they immediately hit it off.

adoption with the level of
openness that both of us
were comfortable with.”

TEXAS A&M STUDENT
They began to discuss plans for
the baby’s future.
“One of my big concerns was that
not only was I giving up my child,”
she said, “but I was giving up my par
ents’ grandchild. I wanted my par
ents to get to know my daughter.”
Kelly asked the adoptive mom to
be present at her baby’s birth.
“Since she was going to be rais
ing this baby,” she said, “I figured
she should see her child come into
this world.”
Kelly said she spent the
hours with her baby holding 1
bonding with her.
“I knew if I kept her any lo
would be harder to let go,” sf
“But when I looked at her, i kn “
”'D0I
was the right thing for her. 1 kn
would be happy and that 1 ha<
the right decision.”
Kelly and her parents hav<
a lot of time with the baby. Ijp.
