Adoption Quote by Beth Willis Miller
““Those who are wounded wound others. Moses was wounded profoundly when he lost his birth family, his heritage, and his history. In the years to come, he would come to know Jehovah-rophe, the Healer of life’s sicknesses and sorrows. Exodus 15: 26b says, “…for I am the Lord, who heals you.” (from Under His Wings: Healing Truth for Adoptees of All Ages)””

Before then [these?], any man might instantly use what another had invented; so that the inventor had no special advantage from his own invention.
