Excerpts from the Report on Intercountry Adoption, 2008
edition:
�Watching a
child blossom under the slow-dawning realization that he or she is the center
of someone�s life is one of the most exquisite joys of adoption.�
|
�Adopting a
child of another race and culture not only is an additional challenge to the
family, but also has its positive point of opening up the world to all the
family members.�
|
�Don�t give
up: be patient and persistent. Tell yourself that when you finally do get your
child � when, not if � all that you have gone through to become parents will
seem well worth the struggle!�
|
�One
of the most important aspects of helping our children develop a healthy sense
of self-concept is to make sure that we are not threatened by the fact that our
children have birthparents, birth families and life histories that include the
time before they came home to us.�
|
�As we
raise our kids to be part of a multicultural U.S. family in a multicultural nation,
we need to help them understand and value their origins.�
