>The Adopted Child
>
>Sadness gripped my heart as I was told the news
>It�s unlikely you will ever bear a child
>Not believing, I sought other doctors� views
>but medical results were the same in each file
>
>There were surgeries, injections, and pills
>With each treatment came new tears
>There were many long trips and medical bills
>With each failure came more fears
>
>In my heart, I felt all hope was gone
>What more could be said or done
>It was time to stop running hither and yon
>I would never bear a daughter or son
>
>�Why not try adoption?� Someone wisely said
>Could we possibly love another�s child?
>Many questions filled my head
>Letters of inquiry were compiled
>
>After two long years of agonizing wait
>the phone rang one afternoon
>The news quickly increased my heart rate
>I learned we�d be parents soon
>
>They came and placed her in my arms
>She was tiny right down to her toes
>I was soon captured by her charms
>She had beautiful eyes and a button nose
>
>I am grateful to the one who gave her birth
>This child made us a family tightly knit
>The love of our daughter has so much worth
>She didn�t grow under my heart, she grew in it
