You Could be an Adoptive Parent If:

1. The fact that there are 150 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight, has truly made your heart sleeplessly ache.
2. You realize that DNA has nothing to do with love and family.
3. You had no idea how you would afford to adopt, but stepped out in faith and God provided.
4. The fact that IF 7% of CHRISTIANS ADOPTED 1 CHILD, THERE WOULD BE NO ORPHANS IN THE WORLD!
5. It drives you crazy when people assume that your adoptive child, "is not your own".
6. You spend free time surfing blogs about families who have experienced the blessing of adoption.
7. You have been 'pregnant' with an adoptive child, longer than it takes an elephant to give birth (2 yrs.).
8. You believe God's heart is for Adoption!
9. You have/will take a LONG airplane ride with a child you just met.
10. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart and family is an eternal legacy for heaven and earth.
11. You have gladly received 5 or more immunization shots in one day at the travel clinic.
12. You have welcomed a social worker into the private parts of your life.
13. You know what Dossier means and you can correctly pronounce it!
14. You pause when people comment that your child is so lucky that you adopted them, knowing well that you are the blessed one to have them in your life.
15. The word Adoption puts a smile on your face.
