For every child born here, expected and surrounded by love, for hundreds of others across the world their destiny is abandonment. However, whatever the circumstances surroundings a birth, each child is entitled to tenderness, to a healthy development and a loving family that wants him. Every year in Quebec, approximately eight hundred parents have the privilege of welcoming toddlers coming from about twenty countries. On a smaller scale it is a little like a love miracle that is renewed by imprinting in the heart of each child an inner peace that cannot be measured by any statistic.
