My journey from one to three: Still Twittling thumbs

Quote

"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. Biological children bring the magic of your own genes, but adoption has the dimention of connection -not only to your own tribe but beyond, widening the scope of what constitutes love, ties and family. 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
