All sorts of people from all walks of life can be considered for adoption.

Father, during this Advent give our families the gift of joy, so that laughter and happiness mark our times together; give our families the gift of strength to help us through our darkest challenges; give our families the gift of peace, that free from worry we may treasure every moment we have together.
From an Advent Prayer of Pope Francis
