Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays to you all, hope you have a wonderful day...

And Mom, it was 19 years ago today that you joined your Savior in Heaven. We love you, we miss you today and always, and are thinking of Connor's Grandma who lives with Jesus.

Love to everyone!

Quotes About Adoption

A Special One for You, Connor:
I did not give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of YOU!!

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’’s life. -Richard Bach

If a child is born and raised in a home that is loving and nurturing, where there is complete truth about who we are, you can’t give a child any greater place from which to fly. -Amanda Bearse

Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson: Any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child. I have born two children and had seven others by adoption, and they are all my children, equally beloved and precious. -Dale Evans

We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child. -Jamie Lee Curtis

I realized at the start that whether a child is biological or adopted, one does not know all the ingredients in the package. That is what growth is all about. A child is the slowest flower in the world, opening petal by petal, revealing the developing personality within. -Robert Klose

Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. It’’s something quite magical. -Nicole Kidman

Adoptive Mom? I am Mom. I need no other label or prefix. -Joanne Greco

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

By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being. Great expectations are good; great experiences are better. -Richard Fischer
