Parenting is not about giving birth to a child. It's about raising a child.

[MMAfighter]

Taking any child out of foster care and giving them a permanent family has to be one of the most noble things a human can do

Getting adopted with your sibling…best thing to happen

Giving birth to a child doesnt automatically mean you're a mother. This just proved that point.

That woman is a type of woman who every people want to live with. She's so pure

See how the mother broke in tears when the boy said "they are the best thing that ever happened to us"

She loved them but also needed to hear that kind of words coming from the kids

We adopted a three year old from the Philippines. She’s now 18 and just graduated in the top 6%. Best thing we ever did. She’s a treasure.

That older brother is going to be a star, a business mogul, a star attorney or something in that arena.

Child: *exists and breathes*

Mother: *uncontrollable sobbing*

I was given up for adoption and found out I was adopted at 37…I’m 50 now caring my my Mom who is suffering with dementia. She gave me a chance at life and now it’s time to honor her and do the same.

Me telling my mom : you're the best thing i've ever had
mom : i don't have money

Why do people even use the insult “you’re adopted” like there’s nothing wrong with that.

[AnkaraHassam]

The fact that they adopted brothers so that one brother isnt parted from another❤

I was adopted when I was 3 from a abusive orphanage in Saint Petersburg Russia, very grateful to be able to come to Florida and have the proper care I needed. My dad always said “making a baby is the easy part, raising one is where you really have the right to call your self a parent”

[chriss]

People that adopt kids are special. God bless this family!
