Yvette Martin is on the road to becoming an anesthesiologist and is currently finishing her medical studies at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She credits her adoptive parents with giving her the confidence she needed to pursue her dreams.

"Norman and Josephine adopted Yvette when she was just 6 months old. The couple decided to adopt after Josephine had some physical problems that kept her from being able to conceive. They adopted Yvette from out of state and from the moment they saw her they fell completely in love."

Now, as a young adult, Yvette still talks to her parents almost every day, and continues to receive the same love and support she has gotten all her life. Read more at CBS4Denver.com.
