"I desperately want children of my own, and hope I haven't missed the chance. But if I have, I've also learned through my own life experience that I have the capacity to love as my own a child who is not my own." -Halle Berry (from a Reader's Digest article)

"It made us realize that it's having a child in your life that's important, not where the child came from." -Beth Ann Bulawa (saw this in a women's magazine article about adoption)
