"We love talking about babies here at Smitten! (Will you find out if it&amp;#39;s a boy or a girl? Are you excited or scared about motherhood?) But have you ever thought about adopting?\nDeciding to adopt a child, just like deciding to have a child, is a serious decision. But it can be such an incredible way to change someone&amp;#39;s life.\nAs you may have read in our December issue (p.232), after touring orphanages in different parts of the world pediatrician Jane Aronson, one of Glamour&amp;#39;s 2009 Women of the Year, decided to help orphaned children find safe and loving families. In 1997, Dr. Aronson started Worldwide Orphans Foundation (WWO) to help &amp;quot;the kids left behind.&amp;quot; Since then, her advocacy work has improved the lives of 20,000 kids! As a doctor, she works with each family to ensure that they have the medical and emotional support they need to make their new family as healthy and happy as possible.\n&amp;quot;A lot of people give lip service to wanting to make the world better for children. She actually does it,&amp;quot; says adoption expert Adam Pertman.\nIsn&amp;#39;t that the most inspiring story?\nI was lucky enough to see Dr. Aronson speak at the Women of the Year Awards, and her warmth, humor and passion blew me away.\nPinterestFacebookHere&amp;#39;s a great picture of Dr. Aronson with a few of the adopted children and their families.\n__\nHave you ever thought about adopting a child? Did Dr. Aronson&amp;#39;s story inspire you?\n__\nP.S. Do you feel like you were born to be a mother?
