Daver Austin April 28, 2011 at 7:40 AM Are you adopted? I had to read Carolyn Devonshire's comment to understand the poem. I think that's great - she adopted you, or you adopted her. Whatever. Love, daver

Carolyn Devonshire April 27, 2011 at 1:04 PM You were lucky to find a loving home, Sara. This tribute to your adoptive mother is beautiful! Children seem to know when they are loved. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
