Adoption slogans

Found this sweet quote and wanted to share it. Klose adopted a child from Russia, and documents his experiences in the book Adopting Alyosha: A Single Man Finds a Son in Russia.

"I realized at the start that whether a child is biological or adopted, one does not know all the ingredients in the package. That is what growth is all about. A child is the slowest flower in the world, opening petal by petal, revealing the developing personality within."   -Robert Klose
