7) “Born not from our flesh, but born into our hearts. You were longed for, wanted and loved from the start.” ~ Unknown Author

There are so many adoptees who experience just that.
9) “All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” ~ Helen Keller
A deep love means a successful adoption. Your child is a part of you. For nine months, he or she grows inside you. Every step you take in the adoption process is out of a deep love for your child. This rich love, then, extends through you to the adoptive parents when your child becomes a part of their new family. As your child grows up, your love for them will never change. Even if you can’t be with them physically all the time, he or she will always be a part of you. Just as they are in their new family. You can take comfort that he or she will always be well cared for no matter what
