Father’s Day- All You Need Is Love
BRICK – Like many parents, Jim Perone helped his daughter Selena prepare for her driving test.
Like many kids, Selena chafed a bit at her father’s way of going about it.
“Even with me being a new driver, he can be a back-seat driver,” the 17-year-old said. “But other than that, I’ll give him credit: No one was injured in the process of me learning.”
Selena got her license – and even aced the parallel parking portion of the test. It’s a big moment for any family, but it carried an extra layer of significance for Jim and his wife Melissa. For a time, the Brick residents wondered if they ever would be parents. After dealing with fertility struggles and then the challenges of trying to adopt a baby in the U.S., they decided to take the road less traveled and adopt an older child.
