I am a cultural Frankenstein ~ Lucy Chau Lai-Tuen
Transracial Adoption quotes by Lucy Chau Lai-Tuen
What many black and biracial transracial adoptees were not prepared for was that the societal realities they faced were the same as those facing other people of color. The information that white transracial adoptive parents needed to give their children did not exist in the white world; these parents would have to interact with black America in order to understand the problems most likely to trouble transracially adopted children. ~ Rhonda M. Roorda
Transracial Adoption quotes by Rhonda M. Roorda
so when people asked me about my family, my features, the fate I'd been dealt, maybe it isn't surprising how I answered - first in a childish, cheerful chirrup, later in the lecturing tone of one obliged to educate. I arrive to be calm and direct, never giving anything away in my voice, never changing the details. Offering the story I'd learned so early was, I thought, one way to gain acceptance. It was both the excuse for how I looked, and a way of asking pardon for it. ~ Nicole Chung
Transracial Adoption quotes by Nicole Chung
You are wrong," says the man. His voice is low and resonant. The metal walls of the dome, all the knives and swords and spears, all seem to vibrate with each of his words. "Your rulers and their propaganda have sold you this watered-down conceit of war, of a warrior yoked to the whims of civilization. Yet for all their self-professed civility, your rulers will gladly spend a soldier's life to better aid their posturing, to keep the cost of a crude good low. They will send the children of others off to die and only think upon it later to grandly and loudly memorialize them, lauding their great sacrifice. Civilization is but the adoption of this cowardly method of murder. ~ Robert Jackson Bennett
Transracial Adoption quotes by Robert Jackson Bennett
People cannot endure inexplicable worthlessness ~ John D. MacDonald
Transracial Adoption quotes by John D. MacDonald
An adopted son shall never take the family, name and the estate of his natural father, the funeral cake follows the family, name and the estate, the funeral offerings of him who gives ,his son in adoption cease, as far as that son is concerned. ~ Guru Nanak
Transracial Adoption quotes by Guru Nanak
It is, in short, the growing conviction that the Negroes cannot win - a conviction with much grounding in experience - which accounts for the new popularity of black power. So far as the ghetto Negro is concerned, this conviction expresses itself in hostility, first toward the people closest to him who have held out the most promise and failed to deliver (Martin Luther King, Roy Wilkins, etc.), then toward those who have proclaimed themselves his friends (the liberals and the labor movement), and finally toward the only oppressors he can see (the local storekeeper and the policeman on the corner). On the leadership level, the conviction that the Negroes cannot win takes other forms, principally the adoption of what I have called a "no-win" policy. Why bother with programs when their enactment results only in sham? Why concern ourselves with the image of the movement when nothing significant has been gained for all the sacrifices made by SNCC and CORE? Why compromise with reluctant white allies when nothing of consequence can be achieved anyway? Why indeed have anything to do with whites at all?

On this last point, it is extremely important for white liberals to understand what, one gathers from their references to "racism in reverse," the President and the Vice-President of the United States do not: that there is all the difference in the world between saying, "If you don't want me, I don't want you" (which is what some proponents of black power have in effect bee ~ Bayard Rustin
Transracial Adoption quotes by Bayard Rustin
The stigma of being an unmarried mother was something we can't comprehend today. It was not uncommon that you'd go off somewhere to have your child, then give it up for adoption. ~ Michael Ashcroft
Transracial Adoption quotes by Michael Ashcroft
For a small, open economy like Cyprus, Euro adoption provides protection from international financial turmoil. ~ Jean-Claude Trichet
Transracial Adoption quotes by Jean-Claude Trichet
I cannot ... perceive any ground for hoping that any practical good would, while the funding system exists in its present extent, result from the adoption of any of those projects, which have professed to have in view what is called Parliamentary Reform ... when the funding system, from whatever cause, shall cease to operate upon civil and political liberty, there will be no need of projects for parliamentary reform. The parliament will, as far as shall be necessary, then reform itself. ~ William Cobbett
Transracial Adoption quotes by William Cobbett
I was born to a woman I never knew and raised by another who took in orphans. I do not know my background, my lineage, my biological or cultural heritage. But when I meet someone new, I treat them with respect ... For after all, they could be my people. ~ James A. Michener
Transracial Adoption quotes by James A. Michener
If, therefore, from the settlement of the Saxons, to the introduction of Christianity among them, that system of religion could not be a part of the common law, because they were not yet Christians; and if, having their laws from that period to the close of the common law, we are able to find among them no such act of adoption; we may safely affirm (though contradicted by all the judges and writers on earth) that Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law.
['Whether Christianity is Part of the Common Law?', letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, from Monticello, February 10, 1814] ~ Thomas Jefferson
Transracial Adoption quotes by Thomas Jefferson
You understand. I don't know. I am not sure how I would feel in your shoes. My mother wanted me. ~ Donna K. Childree
Transracial Adoption quotes by Donna K. Childree
That is very important to me, to make fertility mainstream so everyone understands it. If you want to have your miracle child, there are options: adoption, surrogacy, fertility procedures. It is also sadly very expensive, and not all insurance companies cover it. ~ Cindy Margolis
Transracial Adoption quotes by Cindy Margolis
It is not imitation that makes sons. It is sonship that make imitators. ~ Martin Luther
Transracial Adoption quotes by Martin Luther
If you come across someone who isn't cussing in the time of great anguish and distress then you've met the one causing everyone else to cuss." ~ Shellyanna Tidwell Preston.

Quote from the book "Shellyanna ~ A. White
Transracial Adoption quotes by A.   White
Bound by Blood, Marked by the Dragonfly. ~ Lisa Akers
Transracial Adoption quotes by Lisa Akers
Meeting your adoptive baby is like being set up on a blind date with someone you will have to spend the next eighteen years with. You care about looks, because you desperately want to fall in love with the stranger who will be your child. ~ Jana Wolff
Transracial Adoption quotes by Jana Wolff
I deeply understood that there is no such thing as an isolated act. This particular act had looped and wrapped and folded in on itself and other acts, pushed forward, pulled a hidden past into the present, and placed it in front of me as if to say: Isn't this a fine moment? Who knew? ~ Patricia Florin
Transracial Adoption quotes by Patricia Florin
I tried to put myself up for adoption several times. ~ Chelsea Handler
Transracial Adoption quotes by Chelsea Handler
Adoption is a global issue these days - it's certainly current - and it's encouraging for a lot of couples whether they're straight or gay. ~ Sara Ramirez
Transracial Adoption quotes by Sara Ramirez
The adoption of the required attitude of mind towards ideas that seem to emerge "of their own free will" and the abandonment of the critical function that is normally in operation against them seem to be hard of achievement for some people. The "involuntary thoughts" are liable to release a most violent resistance, which seeks to prevent their emergence. If we may trust that great poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller, however, poetic creation must demand an exactly similar attitude. ~ Sigmund Freud
Transracial Adoption quotes by Sigmund Freud
The illumination of our minds by the Holy Spirit belongs to our renewal, and thus faith flows from regeneration as from its source; but since it is by the same faith that we receive Christ, who sanctifies us by his Spirit, on that account it is said to be the beginning of our adoption. ~ John Calvin
Transracial Adoption quotes by John Calvin
And even though I adore the fact that Francesca has Ben's eyes, I also see now that her biological connection to us is irrelevant. She is her own little person. She is Francesca. If we weren't her "natural" parents, we would still have loved her just as much. ~ Liane Moriarty
Transracial Adoption quotes by Liane Moriarty
It can be a huge help to parents considering the adoption of an older child, when college is just a few years away, to know that there are post-adoption resources and specific financial assistance opportunities available to them. ~ Rhea Perlman
Transracial Adoption quotes by Rhea Perlman
I've never been keen on open adoption. It doesn't seem to solve the main problem with adoption, which is that somebody feels she was abandoned by someone else. ~ Joan Didion
Transracial Adoption quotes by Joan Didion
He seemed evidently more fond of controversy than of truth, and the whole turn of his conversation indicated that he derived his religious security rather from the adoption of a party, than from the implantation of a new principle. ~ Hannah More
Transracial Adoption quotes by Hannah More
[ ... ] I daily wished more to please him; but to do so, I felt daily more and more that I must disown half my nature, stifle half my faculties, wrest my tastes from their original bent, force myself to the adoption of pursuits for which I had no natural vocation. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Transracial Adoption quotes by Charlotte Bronte
The children we bring into the world are small replicas of ourselves and our husbands; the pride and joy of grandfathers and grandmothers. We dream of being mothers, and for most of us that dreams are realised naturally. For this is the Miracle of Life. ~ Azelene Williams
Transracial Adoption quotes by Azelene Williams
When we adopt - and when we encourage a culture of adoption in our churches and communities - we're picturing something that's true about our God. We, like Jesus, see what our Father is doing and do likewise (John 5:19). And what our Father is doing, it turns out, is fighting for orphans, making them sons and daughters. ~ Russell D. Moore
Transracial Adoption quotes by Russell D. Moore
Open adoption, when it works, is fabulous. But when it goes wrong, it's so traumatizing for everybody. ~ Caroline Leavitt
Transracial Adoption quotes by Caroline Leavitt
But the closer we study their lives, and the better we know their deeds, the more profound is our admiration and the greater our reverence for the Pilgrim fathers. Between the drafting of their immortal charter of liberty in the cabin of the Mayflower and the fruition of their principles in the power and majesty of the republic of the United States of to-day is but a span in the records of the word, and yet it is the most important and beneficent chapter in history. To be able to claim descent from them, either by birth or adoption, is to glory in kinship with God's nobility. ~ Chauncey Depew
Transracial Adoption quotes by Chauncey Depew
The more faithful I was to Him, the more faithful He was to me. ~ Becky Graham
Transracial Adoption quotes by Becky Graham

Transracial Adoption quotes by John Landy
In addition to its use in arithmetic and science, the Hindu-Arabic number system is the only genuinely universal language on Earth, apart perhaps for the Windows operating system, which has achieved the near universal adoption of a conceptually and technologically poor product by the sheer force of market dominance. ~ Keith Devlin
Transracial Adoption quotes by Keith Devlin
When one is born into a religion that is not too unsuitable for pronouncing the name of the Lord, when one loves that native religion, well-oriented and pure, it is difficult to conceive of a legitimate motive to abandon it before direct contact with God offers the soul to the divine will itself. Beyond this threshold, the change is only legitimate as an act of obedience. In fact history shows how this rarely happens. More often - perhaps always - the soul that reaches the highest spiritual regions is confirmed in the love of the tradition that served as its ladder. If the imperfection of the native religion is too great, or if it appears in a native environment under a form that is too corrupt, or if circumstances prevent that religion from being born or even kills it, the adoption of a strange religion is legitimate. Legitimate and necessary for certain people; not, without a doubt, for all. It is the same for those who have been raised without any religious practice. In all other cases, to change religions is an extremely grave (serious) decision and it is even more serious to push someone else to do so. It is still an infinitely more serious exercise, in this sense, to officially apply such pressure upon conquered lands. ~ Simone Weil
Transracial Adoption quotes by Simone Weil
The only [child welfare] systems that succeed emphasize family preservation. ~ Richard Wexler
Transracial Adoption quotes by Richard Wexler
The loony tuners are at it again. The cost of doing business in Oakland is already about the highest in the state. Compared with other cities, adoption of the proposed ~ Randy Hamilton
Transracial Adoption quotes by Randy Hamilton
We are entitled to personal revelation, especially when it concerns our own or our children's lives and what has been foreordained for them. This is true whether our children number one or ten, and whether the Lord sends them to us through natural means or adoption. This is a glorious knowledge. ~ Richard M. Eyre
Transracial Adoption quotes by Richard M. Eyre
I wanted a baby of color, to be honest, because I wasn't attached to the idea that I look like the biological mother. I liked the idea of the adoption being clear; it was and is not something I am interested in hiding. ~ Jennifer Gilmore
Transracial Adoption quotes by Jennifer Gilmore
Without the theological aspect, the emphasis on adoption too easily is seen as mere charity. Without the missional aspect, the doctrine of adoption too easily is seen as mere metaphor. ~ Russell D. Moore
Transracial Adoption quotes by Russell D. Moore
Next came the patent laws. These began in England in 1624, and in this country with the adoption of our Constitution. Before then any man [might] instantly use what another man had invented, so that the inventor had no special advantage from his own invention. The patent system changed this, secured to the inventor for a limited time exclusive use of his inventions, and thereby added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius in the discovery and production of new and useful things. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Transracial Adoption quotes by Abraham Lincoln
All we are asking for is balance. I would like to think that I could walk into a public library and find not only works by Gloria Steinem but also those of Phyllis Schlafly. I would like to think a teenager could be taught in sex education that a serious alternative to abortion is teenage abstinence, or should pregnancy occur, that adoption might be preferable. I am not trying, as the ad says, to shove religion down anyone's throat. But I do think everyone has a right, and that the Christian voice is being chocked off. ~ Cal Thomas
