adoption announcements

I'm trying to find something to put on the adoption announcements, especially since Alihan will be our last child/adoption. Here's a few, but if someone knows of a good, particularly if it is religion based, please let me know.

Dreams
One last road to travel One last way to go One more day to forever Just to let you know The wait is finally over The journey now is through And now this comes to let you know Dreams really do come true

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." ~ Helen Keller

As we cultivate peace and happiness in ourselves, we also nourish peace and happiness in those we love.

One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove or what kind of clothes I wore. All that will matter is that I made a difference in the life of a child. ~ Forrest Witcraff

To cover one of my favorite story from the Bible where Hannah talks about praying for her son, Samuel, and God's provision of her request:

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.
I Samuel 1:27-28

And another of my favorites:

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4

I love Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and future!!

or "in love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with HIs pleasure and will-to the praise of His glorious grace..."
Eph 1:4-6

Love it, Maria & Gen you took a bunch of the good ones! Hmmm...we used James 1:7 for Amelia's announcement and Hebrews 11:1 for Anara's.
