Quote of the Day

this isn't specific to adoption, but it is definitely a poem I hold near and dear. I wish every foster child and child in an orphanage had these words whispered to them as they fell asleep...anything is possible, anything can be!

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts,
the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves,
then listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.”
~Shel Silverstein
