My Adoption

"MY ADOPTION"
       "1979"

ON THE DAY I WAS ADOPTED, I WAS PLACED UNDER PAM & BOB'S WINGS..
I WAS BORN INTO THEIR HEARTS, IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY.. 
THEY OFTEN TOLD ME HOW MUCH THEY PRAYED & DREAMED OF TAKING THEIR LITTLE RED HEAD BABY GIRL HOME.. 
THE DAYS & NIGHTS WERE LONG, AS THEY WAITED
4 THE FINAL SAY THAT I WAS LEGALLY THEIR DAUGHTER.
MY MOM OFTEN WOULD TELL ME THAT MY BRIGHT ORANGE HAIR STOOD OUT WHEN THEY
WOULD VISIT ME..
WHEN THEY FINALLY SIGNED THE LAST PIECE OF PAPER, THEY HAD TEARS OF JOY AS THEY HELD ME IN THEIR ARMS AS THEIR NEW BABY GIRL.
THEY SAID I WAS THEIR PERFECT LIL ANGEL
THEY HAVE ALWAYS WAITED 4..
AND THEY HELD ME TIGHT &
MY NAME CHANGED TO
MELISSA J. DEMONT..
