Adoption Sayings

Looks like we will be adopting a sibling group of 4, so I need some sayings about adoption to put on personalized tree ornaments. I've googled adoption sayings and came up empty. Dakota is so excited to welcome Sapphire Denise, Tianna Alaini, Cooper Tomas, and Lexa Madelyn to his family. We can't wait either! Hopefully, shortly after Christmas. Thanks!

A few sayings and quotes...


How can blood be thicker than water when the people who gave me water for my thirst were not my blood relatives?
Kimberlea Ameling-- Adopted Child

By choice we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being. Great expectations are good; great experiences are better.
Richard Fischer -- Adoptive Parent

I did not make you in my own image; I created you from the imagery of my heart.
Nancy McGuire Roche -- Adoptive Parent

A mother is likened unto a mountain spring that nourishes the tree at its root, but one who mothers another's child is likened unto a water that rises into a cloud and goes a long distance to nourish a lone tree in the desert.
Talmud

We were not separated at your birth. It was the moment at whick we begun our journey toward each other.
Nancy McGuire Roche --Adoptive Parent

Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.Mother Teresa

I realized at the start that whether a child is biological or adopted, one does not know all the ingredients in the package. That is what growth is all about. A child is the slowest flower in the world, opening petal by petal, revealing the developing personality within.Robert Klose -- Adoptive Parent

We waited for you against all hope. We came for you with the greatest of hopes.Nancy McGuire Roche -- Adoptive Parent

It has been said that adoption is more like a marriage than a birth: two (or more) individuals, each with their own unique mix of needs, patterns, and genetic history, coming together with love, hope, and commitment for a joint future. You become a family not because you share the same genes, but because you share love for each other.John McNamara -- Adoptive Parent

One gets only a day or two in an entire lifetime as incredible as the day we first say your face.Nancy McGuire Roche

ok sami i hope these help hun...god bless you for you have a special heart...

Someone special, someone dear,
Someone new to love is hear
It’s a perfect time with family and friends
We hope that the Holidays will never end...

Giggles, hugs and love to share,
Oh the joy a daughter bears
She came a perfect time of year
With family and friends and all you hold dear

The nursery was packed,
With blankets and toys.
All that it lacked
Was a bundle of joy
But this Christmas was oh so sweet
Our precious baby is here for you to meet.

Our princess has arrived,
in time for Christmas this year
To spread magic and all the good cheer

ill keep looking...

Here are a few i found. Congratulations!!! It is truly wonderful!!!

A new little girl/boy bet you are:
Amazed
Delighted
Overjoyed
Proud
Tickled
In seventh heaven
On cloud nine
Never happier
Adoption is just another word for love.

I think we're a happier family
Than if we were all kings and queens.
We're so lucky we all found each other.
That's what being adopted means.


The Gift of Life
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


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

Some ornament companies make special ornaments for adopted children. These are quite nice. You can Google "Christmas Ornaments for adopted children". When I worked with families who adopted, suggested they make a scrapbook out of construction paper and title it "Celebrating Your Life as Our Child". Start yhe book out with pictures of you as their new parents and any other siblings they have. Write each one a personal letter about how having this child is a miricle and how your life will be impacted with them in your life.

Here is something that usually makes adopted children feel loved and welcomed. Tell them "If God allowed me to choose my children I would certainly choose all of you".
