Why we adopt

From an Illinois newsletter about adoption:

Others tell you that you are good with kids.

Your commitment will help change a child's future.

Patience and a sense of humor are two of your greatest strengths.

You have love and time to give.

Reaching out to others seems natural to you.

You have a spare bedroom, and you rather it go to a child than become yet another storage closet.

You know how important it is to be a part of a family.

You are ready to accept the challenge of parenting a special child.

You believe that every kid deserves a family.

Today there are approximately 6 million orphan children in Ethiopia who need the constant love of a family.
