All You Need is Love

As the godfather of an adopted child and a cousin of several more I have always been appreciative of the gift of adoption. This Gazette article about adoptive families briefly touches upon the gifts of joy and love that those families are blessed to receive.
Having several adopted children in my family has taught all of us that it is easy to love children that may not be related to you by blood. Although the bond of blood is strong the bond of love is even stronger.
One of my daily prayers is one of thanksgiving for the gift of adoption.
If more scared, expectant mothers were to choose this option rather than abortion I am confident that the gift of adoption would go a long way towards abolishing requests for abortions.
