I had a dirty wet diaper
sores, and backed up against
her and called her mom.)

i tip my hat to you for these words have touched my heart too. they mention that you was adopted, and i wondered if you read my poem" adopted" which i think transcends to so many people and society. always the best to you !

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

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
