Note to Adoptive Parents:

Our children’s best future rests in our ability to accept the task of sorting our needs from theirs. There will be a time for both just not always the same time. Parents make choices everyday from the understanding that commitment, sacrifice and sharing are the only pillars upon which love can grow. We must not be too afraid to risk all in the name of healing the hurts of childhood, theirs and ours. Parents do it with their eyes wide open.
