Adoption Quotes

My kids & I love adoption quotes. Here’s some that would be great for an adoption lifebook or maybe stenciled or framed on a child’s wall.

I have four children. Two are adopted. I forget which two.”
-Bob Constantine

Every baby needs a lap.”
– Henry Robin

“I didn’t give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true.
No, I didn’t give you The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.”
– Unknown

“Adoption is when a child grew in its mommy’s heart instead of her tummy.”
– Unknown

“Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone,
but still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
you didn’t grow under my heart, but in it.”
– Unknown

“Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.”
– Oprah Winfrey

“There are no unwanted children, just unfound families.”
– The National Adoption Center

“I did not make you in my own image;
I created you from the imagery of my heart.
– Nancy McGuire Roche

“However motherhood comes to you it’s a miracle.
– Valerie Harper
