Adoption has helped me and my family in many ways. It brought more joy and laughter in our home. It helped improve my attitude. I am more patient, compassionate and forgiving. It also made me realize that motherhood and unconditional love can be given to any child (not only to one's own child)...Lastly, knowing the reason why my adopted son was given up by his biological parents, it gave me a greater sense of gratitude in everything.

I want to tell a thousand different things to all the people what it is like to have an adopted child. This can probably be summarized in one sentence. IT IS NO DIFFERENT TO HAVING A BIOLOGICAL ONE.

If there's any advice we wholeheartedly would give to anyone who is wondering about the world of adoption, it's this: To adopt is nothing, but a joyful experience. You help pull an unfortunate child out of the streets. You give a beautiful soul a chance to have a decent, happy life. And, it will definitely enrich your life. In fact, when people tell us that our child is lucky to have us, we tell them, no, it's the other way around. We're so lucky to have her. We are the ones who are blessed.
