Nia Vardalos Mother Quotations

My daughter is a preschooler but I have only known her for a while. She is adopted.

Becoming a mother is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I am happy to once again be a part of National Adoption Day. We were matched with our daughter through the U.S. foster care system, and my goal is to share information about the more than 120,000 foster care children in this country who are waiting for a family.

If the standard route for creating a family had worked for me, I wouldn't have met this child. I needed to know her. I needed to be her mother. She is, in every way my daughter.

In many ways we are all sons and daughters of ancient Greece.

Now that I'm experiencing motherhood, I'm ready to write the next chapter of my family story. Of course a few jaded folks in the press corps will claim I ran out of money or just want to kiss John Corbett again. One of these things is true.

And (cue music swell) motherhood turned out to be the most meaningful thing I've ever done with my life. Really.
