"I didn't have a husband or companion at the time and for years wondered if I had the right to raise him without a father -until I decided it was better for him to have just a mother than to be an orphan.

It is a larger embrace. If more people adopted, we would stretch past our immediate circles and by reaching out, find an unexpected sense of belonging with others" Isabella Rossellini
