At this time of year, the staff at Act of Love Adoption Agency gathers together in gratitude to reflect on all of the wonderful children,
birth parents and adoptive families that we have the pleasure to work with at the adoption agency each year.

Brainy Quote defines Gratitude as:  The state of being grateful; warm and friendly feeling toward a benefactor; kindness awakened by a favor received; thankfulness.

Act of Love is so grateful for the many blessings we receive from the friendships and relationships that we continue to build through the years at the adoption agency.  The staff is thankful to be a part of bringing birth parents and adoptive families together to build relationships and families.

Each time we see the happy, giggling babies, the relief and smiles from a birth parent that has received the kindness of a picture or letter from their adoptive family or a beautiful family, we know that Act of Love has been a part of a magical experience.

Act of Love is with our clients through the whole experience – the happiness, the trials, the tears of sadness and joy.  The words of Brian Tracy:  “Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”  These words echo the thoughts and feelings at Act of Love.  The staff is working daily to help our children, birth parents and adoptive families to know that “every step forward” they are moving toward achieving that “something bigger and better” – their goals & dreams.

By helping each other we realize the true meaning of Thanksgiving and the words of Henry Van Dyke, ” Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.  Thankfulness is the natural impusle to express that feeling.  Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

We wish you all bountiful blessings today and throughout the year!

Happy Thanksgiving!
