If I had been adopted, that fact alone would reveal plenty for me to be angry about. #Adoption #TruthInAdoption

[John M. Simmons @SimmonsJohnM]

#Adoption can't restore a family. If it is done properly, it can provide an adequate fix for a child without an active parent

[John M. Simmons @SimmonsJohnM]

#Orphans that didn't cry for themselves taught me that I should cry for them. #Adoption

[John M. Simmons @SimmonsJohnM]

Stop fearing that you'll do something wrong in #adoption. You will. Give a child who doesn't have one your family.

[John M. Simmons @SimmonsJohnM]

Try not to make mistakes when you adopt. But try to correct them and apologize when you err. #Adoption #TruthInAdoption

[John M. Simmons @SimmonsJohnM]

Of course you're her REAL father. So's her birthfather. You can't and shouldn't try to erase history #Adoption #TruthInAdoption

[John M. Simmons @SimmonsJohnM]

Even though truth hurts, lies injure, harm and maim. We must be truthful in #adoption

[John M. Simmons @SimmonsJohnM]

It doesn't matter how beautiful a lie is. Beauty doesn't change what it is. #TruthInAdoption
