Taken from the the web page:
“I am an advocate for adopting. I wasn’t adopted and never needed to be, but that doesn’t stop me from feeling for those kids who are in need of it. Many couples and even singles want to adopt, and there are even waiting lists they often have to be on. So why, then, are there orphanages around the country and world full of kids wishing for adoption? If they get passed up as a baby, their chances of adoption become more and more slim. I hope someday to be able to take a chance on adopting an older kid. I wish a lot more could and would”.
Natural Child: Any child who is not artificial.
Real Parent: Any parent who is not imaginary.
Your Own Child: Any child who is not someone else's child.
Adopted Child: A natural child, with a real parent, who is all my own.
