Growing A Baby In Your Heart

Not everyone of us is capable of having a child biologically. If you are not able to grow a baby in your womb, why not grow a baby in your heart and adopt one?

I have friends and some colleagues who have chosen to adopt a child from adoption homes. They always say their child grew in their heart. Choosing to adopt a child is a mutual decision between you and your husband (or partner). If you think about the welfare of the many children around the world needing parents that will choose them, then your inability to produce a child of your own won't be so bad any longer.

People in the United States even adopt children from Asia. That's one good thing about adoption, the racial barrier is already broken. And I salute those people who choose to adopt. They are often better parents than those who can naturally have a child.
