Two Kinds of Families
Once there were two kinds of Mothers,
One carried you beneath her heart,
She became your birth mother.
The other carried the hope of you within her,
She became your Mom.
Two different lives shaped together
To make you one.
Birthmother was your guiding star,
Your parents your Sun.
Birthmother gave you life,
Your parents teach you to live it.
Birthmother gave you hope for love,
Your parents are here to give it.
Birthmother gave you nationality,
Your parents gave you your name.
Birthmother gave you your talents,
Parents give you aim.
Birthmother gave you emotions,
Your parents calm your fears.
Birthmother held you briefly,
parents ease your fears.
Birthmother needed a home for you,
which she could not provide.
Your parents prayed for a special child,
Their hopes were not denied.
Two different kinds of families,
Two different kinds of love.
Both a part of you, sweet Danee.
All my love and blessings, to you and your family.

I read the poem and thought, that's a nice poem, and then I realized that it was actually written especially for Danee from her grandma!!! What a cool thing! Remind me, is Cami Cindy's mom or the birthmothers mom.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a priceless keepsake!
Cami is the Birthmother's (adoptive) Mother.
ReplyDeleteShe gave us this poem in a nice card when we all met at the courthouse a couple weeks ago!
That has to be the most beautiful poem I have ever read :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem, congratulations on your sweet baby girl. It's been an honor to watch your family go through the process of anticipating her arrival, the adoption, blessing and all the other wonderful milestones.
ReplyDeleteThat's really sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet and thoughtful. It's neat for Danee to have something like that to celebrate her adoption for years to come.
ReplyDeleteThat is really special. Beautiful.
