Quote for Waiting Adoptive Parents

September 22, 2014 - by 2017-FIA-NEW-SITE

"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come."

-- Joseph F. Smith
