Donnie and Jamie Solesbee are the parents of Autumn, who loves golf.

Our daughter Autumn didn’t choose the circumstances of her birth or where she spent the first years of her life. She didn't get to decide how long she'd be in foster care or whether someone would adopt her. But she did make a decision that was all her own. She decided to let hope and joy define her.

Every day we grow together as a family. We have learned so much from Autumn’s strength, resilience, hope and joy. She personifies “grit and grace”.
