"Bill Pierce founded the National Council for Adoption [NCFA]. Dr. Pierce always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. The adoption and right to life movements have lost a true and valuable friend."

Jacki Ragan, NRLC state organization development director

"The National Council for Adoption and the entire adoption cause stand on Bill Pierce's shoulders. Long may his tireless, compassionate example inspire us all, for the sake of the millions of children around the world in need of loving, permanent families. We extend our most heartfelt condolences to Bill's wife Paula and their family and their loved ones, and we share deeply in their grief."

Robert Parker, chairman of the NCFA Board of Directors

Bill Pierce was one of the very first people I got to know when I first arrived in Washington over 22 years ago. I quickly learned that Bill was among the hardest working, most devoted pro-life gentlemen I would ever have the privilege of working with.

I had known that Bill was gravely ill but had not known until the day before he passed away that Bill was near death. I quickly arranged to see my old and dear friend. To my everlasting regret, I arrived at the hospice a few hours late.

Washington is home to many types of people, not all of whom are praiseworthy. But Bill personified the very best qualities. As a passionate adoption advocate, he was intelligent, shrewd, generous in spirit, relentless, hardworking, a friend to the lowly as well as the movers and shakers, a devout Catholic, and one of the most remarkable "networkers" I've ever known.
