I'm the oldest sibling, Erika. My mom, the biological one :), received an email today telling her that "she might like to see this". Contained in the email was a link to this post. She read it to me and I must admit, I cried... just like I did yesterday! It was especially good for my brother to hear your comment because he was so nervous before the panel. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you yesterday, the bingo fanatics were certainly hustling us out of the way! I am touched by your comment and feel so lucky that we were able to reach you and your family. My siblings and I are not regular speakers (yet!), but we do check our email often, so feel free to contact us at anytime. You can reach me at ELScibell@hotmail.com or my younger sister Angela at AngelaScibelli@yahoo.com. We can also put you in touch with our brother through either of those addresses. Ask us anything and one of us (or all of us) will have an answer for you... promise! Thank you again for your comment. As I read it for the billionth time, I'm crying again! -Erika Hi there.

The program was excellent and the experience unforgettable. My partner and I attended the youth panel with our two young children and several of our friends and their children, with the hope that we might catch a glimpse into our future with teenagers! I must say that was the most moving and emotional hour of our trip. Trust me, there were many. You had three siblings on your panel. They were older and very well spoken. We were so touched by their love and respect for our community or should I say their community. I want to applaud their parents and the parents of all the youth who spoke, for a job well done. Are these three kids regular speakers at LGBT conferences and if so, do you know how I might reach them or if they are speaking next? We waited to speak to them after the discussion but between Bingo fanatics and the mob of other grateful parents, we just couldn't get near them. I would just like them to know what wonderful role models they are for the next generation of LGBT families. I wish those moms would do a class on how to raise fabulous kids. I think they would have a full house from the cruise parents alone. Our group wants to know their secret! My family and I so enjoyed the cruise!
