The Wisdom of Mother Teresa on Orphans

I read this quote on my friend Michelle's adoption blog“The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted,”  Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  The quote reminded me how much wisdom Mother Teresa passed on to the next generation -- especially concerning orphans and poverty. Anyone know of a good biography?


Mother Teresa wrote her birthday as August 27 because it was the day of her baptism.  It's coming up in a few weeks. What better way to celebrate her life, than by reading about it! 


Michelle's family is currently in Kiev adopting a 16-year old girl named Maria.  They're been spending the last week with other teens living in Maria's orphanage.
