The Legacy Of An Adopted Child Author Unknown

Once there were two women who never knew each other. One you do not remember, the other you call mother. Two different lives shaped to make yours one. One became your guiding star…the other became your sun. The first gave you life and the second taught you to live in it. The first gave you a need for love…and the second was there to give it.

One gave you a nationality
The other gave you a name

One gave you the need for talent
The other gave you an aim

One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears

One saw you first sweet smile
The other dried your tears

One gave you up
It was all she could do

The other prayed for a child
And God led her straight to you

And now you ask me through your tears
The age-old questions through the years…
Heredity of environment – which are you a product of?
Neither my darling, neither,
Just two different kinds of love.
