QUOTES

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you as you are to them. ~ Desmond Tutu

"Adoption Bound by love, joined by hearts, sent from Heaven, a gift from God." ~ unkown

“Adoption is not a breaking of trust but a keeping of faith… not the abandonment of a baby but an abandonment of self for a baby’s sake.” - Curtis Young (2001)

“While we tend to equate motherhood solely with maternity, in the Lords language, the word Mother has layers of meaning. Of all the words they could have chosen to define her role and her essence, both God and the Father and Adam called Eve “The Mother of all living,” and they did so before she ever bore a child. Like Eve, our Motherhood began before we were born. Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women.”

~By Sheri Dew

"Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother." ~unknown

"A little child enters your life and fills a special place in your heart. A place you never even knew was empty!" ~ unknown

"Adoption means you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy" ~ unknown

"Born not from our flesh, but born in our hearts, you were longed for and wanted and loved from the start" ~unknown

"I wasn't expected; I was selected!" ~ Unknown

"Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart
- but in it"
~ Fleur Conkling Heylinger

"Today I kissed an angel I knew it from the start the first time my angel smiled at me I gave away my heart today I kissed an angel this angel child of mine though not of my creation my child by God's design today I kissed an angel my heart is dancing wild a family, by a miracle blessed by this angel child" ~ Unknown

The Gift of Life

"I didn't give you the gift of life, But in my heart I know. The love I feel is deep and real, As if it had been so. For us to have each other Is like a dream come true! No, I didn't give you The gift of life, Life gave me the gift of you."
~Unknown

"Not flesh of my flesh Nor bone of my bone Yet still miraculously my own Never forget for a single minute You didn't grow under my heart, but in it."
~Fleur Conkling Heylinger

The first time I saw you was like a dream come true.
No I didn’t give you the gift of life
Life gave me the gift of you.
~Author Unknown

It has been said that adoption is more like a marriage
than a birth: two (or more) individuals, each with their own unique mix of needs, patterns, and genetic history, coming together with love, hope and commitment for a joint future. You become a family not because you share the same genes, but because you share love for each other. ~ Joan McNamara
