I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.

Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.

The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it.

The spirit of prayer is the fruit and token of the Spirit of adoption.

My birth mother brought me into this world, but it was my adoptive parents who gave me life.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.

Foster care is risky. Adoption is risky. Love itself is always risky.

You’re off to a great place, today is your day. Your mountain is waiting so get on your way.

We should not be asking who this child belongs to, but who belongs to this child.

I have four children. Two are adopted. I forget which two.

Don’t wait. The timing will never be just right.

And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

Adoption is not about finding children for families, its about finding families for children.

Patience is not the ability to wait but to keep a good attitude while waiting.

Life is lived in the waiting.

Since God has a Son of his own, and such a Son, how wonderful God’s love in adopting us! We needed a Father, but he did not need sons.

Adoption is not the call to have the perfect, rosy family. It is the call to give love, mercy, and patience.
