In honor of National Adoption Month, five wonderful and inspirational quotes:

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

--Mother Teresa 

Time and experience have taught me a priceless lesson: Any child you take for your own becomes your own if you give of yourself to that child. I have born two children and had seven others by adoption, and they are all my children, equally beloved and precious.

--Dale Evans

The Gospel is not a picture of adoption, adoption is a picture of the Gospel.

--John Piper

The first time I saw you was like a dream come true.
No I didn't give you the gift of life
Life gave me the gift of you.

--Unknown

If anybody understands God's ardor for his children, it's someone who has rescued an orphan from despair, for that is what God has done for us. God has adopted you. God sought you, found you, signed the papers and took you home.

--Max Lucado
