A love to hold our hearts forever.

Our children are not ours because they share our genes?
they are ours because we have had the audacity to envision them.
That, at the end of the day?or long sleepless night,
is how love really works.

?Henry Robin
August
I didn?t give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true.
No, I didn?t give you the gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.
?Unknown

this child belongs to, but
who belongs to this child.

Not flesh of my flesh, Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn?t grow under my heart?but in it.
?Fleur Conkling Heylinger
December
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him.
?1 Samuel 1:27
Oh Mrs. B that is great!
There is someone here on this board that has a great one liner in the signature - every time I see it it makes me smile. But my brain isn't working and I can't remember who or what it says exactly.
I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. I now have a lump in my throat and trying not to cry. I love those quotes, especially the last one.
I hope you girls don't mind me coming over. I'm normally on the TTTC board but I lurk over here some, I really want to foster/adopt one day regardless of if we get our own LO.
I am not spiritual or religious in any way, nor do I believe that "everything happens for a reason." However...I really love this quote and I imagine that when I adopt, I will feel that it was meant to be in some way.
This is an ancient Chinese belief. Check it out here on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_string_of_fate
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The red thread may stretch or tangle but it will never break."
