I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'

I'm a big believer that your word is your wand. You know how people say things like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm such an idiot.' I don't say things like that anymore. Those put-downs, even if they're in jest, are little bullets of negativity that you don't need in your life.

I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'

I don't have to be an expert. I just have to care.

You should've seen my big hair in the 80's, that was a real project.

I look at all the things life has allowed me to do, and I feel like the luckiest person in the world.

If I can play a little part in the world's healing, and making it a better place than when I came, then I just thank God for that chance.
