We are taking a child into our laps forever

I have always said that if we were to adopt, God would simply have to drop a child onto my lap. Recently, on Holt's online forum I came across the following:

The verb to adopt in Hindi is Gawdlayna and to say "I am adopting a child" literally translates as "I am taking a child into my lap forever".

And in the Devanagari script: देवनागरी

How beautiful - and very powerful to me! Spiritually, God has truly dropped a child into our hearts. It's just taking a lot of work to physically get her to our laps - forever!
