Adoption Poems

These would be a great addition to an adoption lifebook. You can also print one out in a nice font, frame it and hang it near your front door.  

~ Our Family Tree ~
We’ve added to our family tree
A stronger one to make
A child from another plant
Has become our new namesake.
Just as a limb is grafted
From one tree to another,
It alters and improves the plant
Making it, uniquely, like no other.
Our family tree has been improved
Adoption made this so.
For love, much more than bloodlines,
Makes us thrive and grow.
We chose to share our life and love
And all the joys to come
Our “family tree” has blossomed
With the arrival of our cherished one.

~ My Harvest ~
(Carol Lynn Pearson)
I did not plant you, true.
But when the season is done,
When the alternative prayers for sun
and for rain are counted,
When the pain of weeding
And the pride of watching are through,
Then I will hold you high,
A shining sheaf above the thousand seeds grown wild.
Not my planting,
But, by heaven,
My harvest–
My child.

~ Roots & Wings ~
(Suzanne Gulbin)
Who are you that you should come to us?
Your name is Wonder;
Your name is Joy.
You have come gently
into our lives
bringing purity
and the freshness
of new beginnings.
And what shall we give you in return?
We offer you all that we canour best intentions
-our promise of love.
We offer your roots.
We offer you your wings.
We offer you tomorrow.
We offer you ourselves. ~

~ Our Child! ~
With anxious hearts and open arms,
we sought you everywhere.
You, dear child, are a gift from God,
The answer to our prayer.
No matter whether birth or choice,
A home is blessed from above.
When caring parents claim their child,
A family is formed by love
