Found this beautil adoption quote...
...and I a going to write it in calligraphy, frame it, and hang it in our home. Enjoy!!
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 Adoptive Parent

It's a great quote!.. Acknowleges the child's life before their adoption - not like the "born in my heart" quote.

I got my signature quote from a perpetual daily flip calendar that I have. It gives a quote and a bible passage quote. Sometimes the quotes stick with me, other times they match the day.
I can post any good ones I read if anyone would like me to share them. FYI they have religious tones. Todays (for times when I am feeling sad ) Today my heart is unacquainted with peace and a stranger to hope. Perhaps I have used up all my believing. Yet I am here...Lord, I kneel...my heart kneels too. Anon.
