So many adoptive parents are looking for the perfect family in their own definition. For tons of AA kids, any family would be just great.

I don't think it is arrogance whatsoever, I think it is a willingness to provide permanency among a sadly undesired population.

Together we have four bio-blessed arrows and one pink arrow waiting to be finalized.
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5
