Your birthmother knew that she could not give you all you needed after your birth.
Meanwhile,your mom was ready & waiting for you.

One day your Birthmom & your mom found each other.

They looked into each others eyes & saw a friend.
Your birthmom saw the life your mom could give you.
Your mom saw how much your birthmom loved & cared for you.

They decided that what you needed was both kinds of love in your life.

So now you have two families,
One by birth,one by adoption.

And you have a home where you can get:
your questions answered,
your boo boos bandaged,
your heartaches soothed,
And some much needed hugs.

And a place where you can find,
answers to your questions,
your image in the mirror,
a part of yourself,
and some much neede hugs.

Two different kinds of families
Two different kinds of love
Both a part of you.

I just wanted to say that I love this poem the most. I just did an open adoption Last month (1-16-02) and It has been really difficult to deal with. One of the ways that helps me is to read poems and this one is one of my favorites. Thank you so much for helping me with my pain and sorrow.
