• We already had an adopted daughter, 10-year-old Courtney, from my previous marriage. To me, there is no difference between 'natural' and 'adopted.' My own childhood showed me that when it comes to loving your kids, concepts like that don't apply. I was the oldest of six, and three of my siblings were adopted. Mom and Dad even took in foster children. 'There are no limits to how much you can love,' Dad always said.

• Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own;
  Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind,
  And, even with something of a mother's mind,
  And no unworthy aim,
  The homely nurse doth all she can
  To make her foster child, her inmate man,
  Forget the glories he hath known
  And that imperial palace whence he came.

  William Wordsworth

• As I presided over Massie's execution, I thought about the abuse and neglect he endured as a child in the foster care system. We failed to keep him safe, and our failure contributed to who he was as an adult. Instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars to kill him, what if we spent that money on other foster children so that we stop producing men like Massie in the first place?
