Dear Wonderful You, Letters to Adopted & Fostered Youth Quotes

“This is what we deal with, as adoptees, the shock not of finding ourselves but of realizing that we have always been there, unfound because our concentration was elsewhere, something most people do not have to deal with because they didn’t have their original paradigm taken from them.”
― Diane René Christian, Dear Wonderful You, Letters to Adopted & Fostered Youth

“Even though we were adopted, even though we are adopted, we are worthy of the love we have from our adoptive parents. And we are worthy of the love that we have from our first families—whether or not we are in an active relationship with them.”
― Diane René Christian, Dear Wonderful You, Letters to Adopted & Fostered Youth
