Favorite adoption phrase/saying

in Adoption

I'm working with an etsy artist to do a piece for our nursery, and she asked if I had a phrase or saying I'd like to have included.  I hadn't thought about it and nothing is coming to mind.  

Anyone have a favorite you'd be willing to share?  

This is the artist, in case you're interested too :)  https://mamasartsytreasures.blogspot.com/

    I've always liked the poem that starts

    "Not flesh of my flesh or bone of my bone...."

    You'll have to google it because Ican't find my copy right now. It maybe too  long for what you are  doing but it is what comes to my mind.

    dd(Brianna) 11/01/94, ds(Bram)10/17/95, ds(Jesse)9/26/97, dd (Annie Ruth) 7/27/05 5mc Jan '08, May '08, Feb '09, Sept '09, Apr '11 "And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one weak creature makes a void in any heart, so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of vast eternity can fill it up." - Charles Dickens

    This is the start of your sweet little story - the part where your page meets mine - no matter where your tale takes you tomorrow - our story will always read love.

    Being a family means you a part of something wonderful.  It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. No matter what.

    We made a wish and you came true.

    From the moment they placed you into my arms you snuggled right into my heart. 

    Adoption is another word for LOVE.

     

    (These are all phrases I've saved on my Pinterest page!!!)

    Please show us the finished piece when it's all done - I would love to see it!

    Love all of these!  Thank you!  I had thought about the one above  - the "not flesh of my flesh.." one but I love all of these options now.  It's going to be hard to choose.

     OMG I love Pinterest :)

    We have the saying "Everyday holds the possibility of a Miracle" on our Nursery wall.  It's not adoption specific, but certainly rings true in the world of adoption.

    I'm not sure if this entirely appropriate for wall art but I just love these shirts:

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/74633188/childrens-personalized-shirt-i-was-so?ref=sr_gallery_13&sref=&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=favorites&ga_facet=favorites

    They say, "I was so worth the wait!", "No I didn't give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you."

    Our adoption was finalized January 2012!

    Not for a baby's room but I love:

    There is joy in the journey.

    I think all of us adoptive mamas need to have it tatood across our foreheads to remember to appreciate our journey to our child.  It is SO hard!

     "no i didnt give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you"

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    I had to wait so long for my child because he hadn't been born.  I had a friend of mine say this right after I brought my son home and it has really stuck with me.  I had a 4 year wait so it is very true of my situation.
