Bill Pierce, a wonderful man and tireless advocate for children died this past week of cancer (see here and here). He was devoted to adoption work–reform and promotion–in the hopes of ensuring every child would have a loving family to raise him (whether the life was planned or unplanned).

Bill was an occasional contributor to NRO and I’m blessed to have known him. Conservatives have lost a treasure and we would do ensure his work continues. Our sympathies to his family.
