YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN ADOPTIVE PARENT IF...
1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight has made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love & family.
4. The fact that, if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child there would be no orphans in the world, is convicting to you. (A pretty amazing statistic. Also, of 240,000 Americans inquiring about foster adoption this year, only about 10,000 will follow through and become adoptive parents. Data compiled by Listening to Parents)

6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about adopted child's "real"parents.
8. You'd no idea how you'd afford to adopt, but stepped out in faith anyway, knowing He'd provide.
10. You believe God's heart's for adoption. See James 1:27 and Romans 8.
12. You know what the word "Dossier" means & you can actually pronounce it correctly!
14. You shudder when people say your child's so lucky that you adopted them, knowing full well you're the blessed one to have him or her in your life.
16. When someone talks about addictions you quietly think in your head that have an addiction of your own- adoption!
