That Day When Adoption Changed Me

There was a day my life changed when I was adopted at 6 weeks of age what if that hadn't happened? left myself! where I'd be today? maybe on my last page But in God's providence never left alone placing me in a family where I receive care throughout life felt God's touch many a time no matter how hard, never said it's not fair After birth, move into kid's home left to wonder about life's future but no memory of my infant thoughts or days ahead, I may have to endure Six long weeks it probably felt till adopted parents came my way then papers signed so all's legal moving out to country was I to stay My dad worked on a farm nearby while mother kept the house in check so grateful to live out in fresh air for pre-school days were my top deck (Just thinking about my early pre-school days getting adopted and events around these early events in my life. )

Hello Gordon ... brought up a memory of a good friend of mine arrived one day and became very emotional. Both of his adopting parents passed away years prior and after 72 years found his maternal mother and has since had a great relationship with her. She is 97 - thank you Gordon - Lindsay
