You are my child and I love you.

How can you love me? You ask, you do not know me.

I do not know what you look like, the color of your eyes,
you hair or even your skin, 
and yes I love you, You are my child.

Why do you love me? You ask.  You do not know me.

I have never met you, I know not even how old you are,
you may be 2,4 or 6 years old, you may be a  boy, you 
could be a girl, I have no idea, and yes I love you, 
You are my child.

Why do you want me? you ask, you do not know me.

I know you enough to know that you are special, you are
unique, you are a child who needs a Mother, I am Mother
who needs a child, and yes I love you, you are my child,
and I want you.

 Adoption Creed  



Not Flesh of my flesh
nor bone of my bone
but still miraculously 
my own.

Never forget
for one single minute
you didn't grow 
under my heart
but in it.





 We are guilty 
of many errors and many faults 
but our worst crime
is abanoning the children
neglecting the fountain of life. 


Many of the things we need 
can wait
The child cannot.


Right now is the time
bones are bing formed
blood is being developed.


To the child we cannot answer "Tommorrow."


The child's name is "Today."
