This was a poem my mother gave me I don't know when but it is very dear to me and I love it. She herself did not write the poem it was written by claire short.I think she gave it to me to show me that I am special because I am adopted.
To me you are special.
Special, because you belong to me and are mine.
The fact that I didn't give birth to you, doesn't make me less of a parent,or you my son.
For parenting is far more than birth and growing is some thing that we can experience together at our own pace.
I longed for you though I didn't know then your face
And at least when you were chosen, my life took on a new dimension
We were a family.
Now as you continue to develop I see mirrored in your personality a reflection of our own ways and a bond has been created of love, warmth and security.
