Blessed Families are the people restored from the satanic world. They are not the true children to whom True Parents gave birth. They are on the position of adopted children. In order for them to become true children, they have to be engrafted onto the direct children of True Parents—True Children. They have to attend on and be united with True Children. – From True Father’s Speech (Dec. 26, 1971) –

Blessed Families are families that have been engrafted onto my family. If my family is the subject, then all the engrafted Blessed Families become the object…. Blessed Families are engrafted onto Parents’ Family. Therefore, absolutely one. – From True Father’s Speech (Sep. 8, 1998) –
