Legacy of An Adopted Child

Ginny's birthmom found this poem for me....I LOVE IT! It is in safe keeping next to Ginny's bed.

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 aim
One 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
