• A baby is God's most precious gift.
      
• A baby is a special blessing.
   
• A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
   
• A child of my child is twice my child.
   
• Children need models rather than critics. Joubert
   
• Children touch the world with love.
   
• Bless this child so small and sweet. Bless her hands, her heart, her feet. Keep her safe until she's grown and has sweet children of her own. (Also for a boy)
   
• There are only two lasting the bequests we can give our children-one is roots, the other wings.
   
• Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ‘til tomorrow, for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow—
  So quiet down, cobwebs, dust go to sleep-- I'm rocking in my baby, and babies don't keep!
   
• God’s Most Precious Gift A baby was created by the hand of God above to give the world the sweetest touch of tenderness and love; with the softness of a whisper God made a baby’s skin. And then designed two trusting eyes to put the starlight in. With giggles from a waterfall and breezes passing by, God made a baby's laughter and a tiny sleepy sigh. God made the world a precious gift more dear and pure than gold, with little toes to play with and tiny hands to hold, and wrapped in rainbow ribbons with a countenance so mild, brought down to earth the wonder if of a precious loving child.
   
• IF for Little Boys If he can come into the world and show you that he's a little angel from the start, If he can fuss and kick and lose his halo, then turn around and smile and win your heart ... If he delights you, though at times he's naughty, and make you laugh at him instead of scold, If at one moment he can try your temper and then the very next be good as gold ... If he can fill each day with high adventure, and fill your life with happiness and joy, Then he'll be everything you've always wanted - a happy, healthy little boy to enjoy!
   
• Now I lay me down to sleep -- I pray the Lord my soul to keep -- May angels watch me through the night and wake me with the morning light. Amen
   
• TWINS God bless these twins with gentle kindness; guide them with Your tender love. Show these twins the world of brightness; fill these little hearts with love.
   
• TWINS there's two to wash, there's two to dry, there's two who argue, there's two who cry. One's in the mud having a ball, the other holds crayons - another marked wall. Some days seem endless, my patience grows thin.. Why was I chosen to be a mother of twins? The answer comes clear at the end of each day, as I tuck them in bed and to myself say, there's two to kiss, two to hug, and best of all, there's two to love.
  (Any TWIN verse can be adapted for TRIPLETS)
   
• Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute, you didn't grow under my heart, but in it. (for an adopted child)
   

• Legacy of an Adopted Child once there were two women who never knew each other. One you do not remember, the other you call mother. Two different lives shaped to make yours one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun. The first gave you life and the second taught you to live in it. One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name. One gave you the seed of talent, the other gave you an aim. One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears. One gave you up--it was all that she could do. The other prayed for a child and God led her straight to you. And now you ask me through your tears, the age-old question through the years: heredity or environment--which are you the product of? Neither, my darling--neither, just two different kinds of love.
