Jodi Picoult
“Since I was five, I've known that I was adopted, which is a politically correct term for being clueless about one's own origins.”
Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care

Sherrie Eldridge
“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.”
Sherrie Eldridge, Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew
