Family pets love adoption!!!!!

We received this picture today and I just couldn't resist! Not only does A Chosen Child find stable and loving homes for children, fulfill the dreams of parents who desire the addition of a special child into their homes and hearts, it turns out that we also provide "baby fixes" for family pets too.
This is a picture of a recent A Chosen Child adoptive placement, and it brought a smile to my face as soon as I saw it. Talk about a baby being loved on!
It reminded me, once again, about the awesome power of love. Being a "pet person" myself, as well as being a "baby person", this picture brought to mind thoughts of unconditional acceptance, commitment and trust, which are some of the characteristics, among others, that make up the foundation of adoption. It dosen't matter where you come from or where you've been, whether you are covered in fur, or partially hairless, differences cease to exist -- you are here now, you are loved, and that's all that matters. Look closely at the picture, the message is right there.
At A Chosen Child, we joyfully celebrate all the differences, the colors and the origins as we embrace trust, devotion, commitment, unconditional acceptance and love for every baby and every family that walks through our doors. Because that is the spirit of adoption.
Blessings and blessings.
