Sweet adoption poem (tissue alert)

My friend sent me this in response to our news about getting final signature & submitted to BC:

"My child,
I carried your picture with me
since the day I received it,
And dared to love
a child I was yet to meet.

My child,
I carried you in my arms at last,
and gazed in helpless wonder
at your face,
And dared to lose
my heart to you.

And now, my child,
a dream fulfilled,
a prayer answered,
a family created,
I have dared to become
your mom.

And so now,
my precious child,
I shall carry you
home."

Jill Work, 1998
