Thank you.

 I am adopted. I love seeing people who have a heart to adopt and pursue that. There are so many needy kids and soo many loving homes ready for them. Thank you all so much for being willing to love a child that is not their own and make a difference. I have such a greatful heart toward my adoptive parents. They are just incredible. You are all doing such a wonderul amazing thing. Thank you.

Thank you for posting!  This is so nice to hear.  Although I have to say, whenever someone says something like this to me, I always think I am the one who is grateful.  Adoptive parents are recipients of such a huge gift, the gift of the child.  I bet your parents are just as grateful for you as you are for them.    Thanks again for the encouragement!

I completely agree with Jillian!  Parenthood is a gift we're blessed to be receiving.  We're thrilled to have the opportunity to provide a loving home for a child.

Jillian said it all  

And for what it's worth, I am loving children that are MINE.  Believe me, as an adoptive parent, the bond between me and my girls couldn't be any stronger if I'd birthed them myself.  They are part of me, and hopefully me of them.  They are my world

I just cried reading this thread.

Jillian and Silliest said it all.  I am so blessed to be my daughters mother, and she is mine in every aspect.

OP- Thank you so much for your thoughts and encouragement.  I truly can't express how much it means to me to hear it.

Exactly this. I often say I was blessed with 2 set of parents, one that gave me life and the other that helped me live it. There are no words for that kind of love. Thank you.
