Born to a young mother, just a child herself
Who made the choice to sacrifice it all

She didn’t have any money, the Daddy was long gone
Knew she couldn’t raise a baby solely on her own
So she had to find another to do what she could not
Who could provide that child a safe and happy home

She held her Angel before they took her child away
Another couple waits to take that baby home today
Kissed her Angel, said goodbye, for she could not be weak
Searching for the strength to cope as the tears ran down her cheek

A story to be told, perhaps, a lesson to be learned
A choice that led to sacrifice, a lifetime of concern
Love is not supposed to hurt, although sometimes it may
But we still seem to make it through, we always find a way.


Choices that we have to make in life can break our hearts into.
When it comes to love we know whats right, we do what we have to do
It may not be easy but sometimes this is what we have to face
Will the pain diminish, or is it something even time will not erase?

Memories of an Angel.....Sent from God in Heaven

I do know that it had to be one of the hardest things that she had ever done. And that is why I search so that I can tell her thank you. My life wasn't perfect, but it was good. And it was because of that one choice that I am where I am today, and I like it here.

I am a bmom of a beautiful baby girl Audrey Nicole, and I always say that she is my angel sent down from heaven to show me the way. Even though the pain is so great and It wasn't a choice I wanted to make.....I am always greatful she came whwn she did. I love her so much, she is my angel. Hold your angel close. You are a great writer. I love your poem!

I read your poem today, and it touched me more than any other poem i have read. I am a young mother myself who had given her daughter up for adotion. A little angel from heaven who means more to me than anything in this world. i have a a terrible childhood and losing her was by far the worst thing that has happened to me. I love her more than anything in this world. I truley believe that god made me make this desition because it has made me grow up more than anything else in this world. My only suggestion is to hold her little face in your mind, and never give it up, because she will find you when she is older.

Your poem brought tears to my eyes, I loved It very much! I'm a 25 year old adoptee, who will never get the chance to meet my birth mother as she has passed away. I often wonder if my mother held me tight after my birth, and kissed me goodbye? I will always love my mother and know in my heart that she had no other choice, but to give me away. I look forward to meeting her on the other side some day. Could my mother be my little angel now....looking down on me, I will believe It in everyway!!

Thank you for your poem, it was very touching!

Hi Stacey
I posted a message to you,but it went to Dianne(Jan)that also started by reading a poem child of my heart. My message go out to all adopted children, but it was you response that made me reply. If you read it, will you let me know if you do. I am searching for my daughter too. June 18, 1971. Toronto Canada

I can't stop crying!! I have for so long wondered how my bio mother feels. It gives me hope that she thinks of me that way. Thankyou so much for your inspiration. Penny

Wonderful,wonderful poem! It gives all of us adoptees "HOPE" that our firstmothers all felt that way! Alas, I will never know, as mine has passed before meeting her. In her Bible cover that I was given, there was a peice of a pink binding from a babies blanket! Maybe? Mine? I hope so! Once again, Thank You for the wonderful poem.

Dear Jae,

You poem has moved me greatly. I first read a week or so ago and afterward was immediatley inspired. I myself was adopted from birth, I am also a musician (a 3rd year Vocal Performance Major in College) and I would love to be able to set your beautiful words to music. Please reply so I know whether or not I may do this. I don't want to infringe on any artistic territory. Thank you for your inspirartion.
