Adoption was a bumpy ride – very bumpy. But, God, was it worth the fight.

Adoptive parents become the biological parents through connection

YOU DON’T HAVE TO GIVE BIRTH TO SOMEONE TO BE FAMILY. WE’RE ALL FAMILY – EXTENDED FAMILY.

Anyone who doesn’t have experience with adoption wonders, ‘Does love for a child come through DNA?’ I knew it didn’t.

God knew that it doesn’t matter how your children get to your family. It just matters that they got there.

Adoption is when a child grew in it’s mommy’s heart instead of her tummy.

Being a mother has enriched my life in so many ways, it’s opened my world, in a way.

Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Motherhood is about celebrating the child you have not the child you thought you’d have.

Whether your children are yours through biology or adoption, they are yours through love.

They may not have my eyes, they may not have my smile, but they have all my heart.

I say to everybody, ‘Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'

Adaptability enforces creativity, and creativity is adaptability.

Adaptability is key.

Adaptability cushions the impact of change or disappointment.

When we allow ourselves to adapt to different situations, life is easier.

We learn flexibility and adaptability.

An adaptive mind has better learning capability.

All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.
