I believe one of the most sacrificial acts of love adoptive parents can do is to give up their preconceptions and agendas about what their child's views "should" be and be open to hear the conflicting emotions and thoughts their child often experiences.

Listen to your hearts, parents! You are the expert when it comes to knowing your child. I love the Scripture that says we are to let the peace of God rule in our hearts...In other words, peace in your heart is to be like an umpire calling the shots. When in doubt--DON'T!

Narrow-mindedness will only get you as far as Nowhere, and once you're there, you're lost forever.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.

A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.
