Adoption Poem

And now, because I need something good to think about, here's an adoption poem!

Adoption
~ author unknown

You first came to us in an envelope
With letters, forms and such,
Just two tiny little pictures
With nothing warm to touch.

You grew in our imagination
In our hearts and in our minds.
You brought us greater joy
Than we ever thought we'd find.

A phone call started labor pains
Which lasted 'til we met.
Strangers brought together-
A day we won't forget.

You bloomed as you were planted
In our hearts, our lives, our home.
Our child of chance, of plan, of will

You're now our very own.
