&lt;p&gt;      well my aunt used to say to me &amp;quot;everyday offers millions of oppurtunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations&amp;quot;. for someone or an animal&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;who needs help, you or i can be that oppurtunity. in the blink of an eye, through cause and condition, a persons life condition can change from hell to buddha, if only for just a moment. in a world where the&amp;nbsp;forces of death are challenging the forces of life for every inch of ground,&amp;nbsp;inspiring others&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;through example is a very worthy path. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      I&amp;#39;m so happy to read your message, Vince!&lt;br /&gt;And i&amp;#39;m so happy that you were among the very, very lucky ones who, orphaned, were taken and merged spiritually, soulfully, wonderfully, into a loving home.&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s so gratifying to hear about our too often unsung heroes and heroines - those who put the welfare of a helpless, homeless, love-starved child before their own selfish desires to breed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I propose that an entire holiday be established called Adopters&amp;#39; Day, to applaud and to celebrate the kindness of people who really practice their spirituality by adopting a needy child! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      It&amp;#39;s so wonderful to hear of adoptions taking place!&lt;br /&gt;Whether by the great celebrities who choose to adopt or by ordinary people, or even just the average person who adopts from afar - sending money to help a needy child in another continent.&lt;br /&gt;We need to applaud these people more!&lt;br /&gt;They&amp;#39;re heroic, kind, wonderful people who deserve salutes! &lt;/p&gt;
