You must love with all your heart, with all your wisdom, with all your strength... just as you would your own child. You must be willing to do this in-spite of the temporality of the relationship.

If we say we uphold the sanctity of human life, what are we doing to show it? When we say we're against abortion, and say adoption is an alternative, are we willing to adopt or foster? I currently work at a boys' home. While some of them are to be reunited with their families, many of the boys are awaiting adoption. Simply put, few of them are chosen. Are we willing to change this?
