“When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman,

 born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might

receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of 

his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’” (Galatians 4:4-6).

LEGACY OF AN ADOPTED CHILD

Once there were two women who never knew each other 

One you do not remember, the other you call Mother 

Two different lives shaped to make you one

One became your guiding star, the other became your sun

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it

The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it

One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name

One gave you a talent, the other gave you aimOne gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears

One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried you tears

One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do

The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.

 Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?

Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.

---- Unknown

Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God

--- Ram Dass

 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.---1 Samuel 1:27  

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

--- Abraham Lincoln

I'm only one. But still, I am one.

I cannot do everything, but still, I can do something.

And because I cannot do everything,I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

-- Edward Everett Hale

The Legacy of a Child in anOpen Adoption

By Brenda Romanchick Once there were two expectant mothers.

One carried and cared for you beneath her beating heart

She became your Birthmother.The other carried the hope of you within her.

She became your Mom.

As the days passed, and you grew bigger and stronger,Your Birthmother knew that she could not give you all you needed after 

your birth.

Meanwhile, your Mom was ready and waiting for you.

One day your Birthmom and your Mom found each other.

They looked into each other’s eyes and saw a friend.Your Birthmom saw the life your Mom could give you.

Your Mom saw how much your Birthmom loved and cared for you.

They decided that what you needed was both kinds of love in your life.

So now you have two families,One by birth, the other by adoption.

And you have a home where you can get:

your questions answered,your boo boos bandaged,

your heartaches soothed,

And much needed hugs.

And a place where you can find:

answers to your questions,your image in the mirror,

a part of yourself,

And much needed hugs.

Two different kinds of families

Two different kinds of loveBoth a part of you.
