Adoption Poems

These poems would make a great addition to your child’s adoption lifebook!

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 planned
In our hearts, our lives, our home.
Our child of chance, of plan, of will
You’re now our very own.

We said
We’re starting on a second adoption
They said
So soon? Is that wise?
- but they didn’t know
you were waiting for us…

We said
This time we want a boy
They said
Girls are easier to raise
- but they didn’t know
you were waiting for us…

We said
We want a toddler
They said
It’s better to adopt an infant
- but they didn’t know
you were waiting for us…

They said
But how can you afford to?
We said
But how can we afford *not* to,
- since we know
you are waiting for us…

Now we need only find out who-
and where-
you are

So that you
and we
need wait no more.

A half a world away
Sometimes it seems we’re so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of ther heart

My little one, my bundle of joy
I’m waiting for you
My precious son, my baby boy
I know you’re waiting too

A half a world away
A child waits for a family of his own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring him home

My little one, my bundle of joy
I’m whispering a prayer
My precious son, my baby boy
I hope to soon be there

I hope that we
will no longer be
a half a world away.
