I've teamed up with PetSmart Charities to celebrate the five million homeless pets who've found homes through their in-store adoption centers and to spread the word about how we can work together to save millions more pets' lives and ultimately end pet homelessness.

These measures may not constitute an absolute guarantee of peace but in my opinion they constitute the greatest preventive measures ever adopted by nations.

Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them that would be poor parenting on my part.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

Civilized countries generally adopt gold or silver or both as money.

I think my mom threatened to put me up for adoption a few times.

When you're adopted no matter what you've got issues with unconditional love. And you find out you're the product of the worst situation for a young girl to be in and start her life and I'm so grateful that my birth mom made the decision she made. She came from a rough situation.

There's a book called 'The Shack' - it had a lot to do with me coming full circle meeting my birth mother. Awhile back my birth mom and my adopted mom came to my show together and it was pretty surreal.

I really want to adopt a child... I want to be called 'Mom.' It really is the most beautiful word in the English language.
