"A child born to another woman calls me mommy. The magnitude of that tragedy and the depth of that privilege are not lost on me." -Jody Landers
“It is not imitation that makes sons. It is sonship that make imitators.”
― Martin Luther
“Was it the act of giving birth that made you a mother? Did you lose that label when you relinquished your child? If people were measured by their deeds, on the one hand, I had a woman who had chosen to give me up; on the other, I had a woman who'd sat up with me at night when I was sick as a child, who'd cried with me over boyfriends, who'd clapped fiercely at my law school graduation. Which acts made you more of a mother?
Both, I realized. Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.” ― Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care
“My adoption was treated as a celebration.”
-Michael Reagan, son of President Ronald Reagan

“People ask me. ‘What about gay adoptions? Interracial? Single Parent?’ I say. “Hey fine, as long as it works for the child and the family is responsible.” My big stand is this: Every child deserves a home and love. Period.”
-Dave Thomas
“Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. It’s something quite magical.
-Nicole Kidman

You were born in my heart.”
