Adopted
There’s a tale that I must tell
Of a heart that I knew quite well.
This heart dwelled within her chest
And had given its very best.

Love and compassion had filled this heart
But it was taken advantage of from the start.
This love and compassion was given
Freely to children...

Earth does ballet to stay in shape
dancing before the rubbernecking moon
that chases us around the sun
making waves in oceans like our emotions

Letter To My Father -From An Adopted Child
A LETTER TO MY FATHER
(from an adopted child)

Hi Dad,
You left so suddenly, without a word,
no time to say our goodbyes.
Somehow it was alright because I was sure
you knew how much you meant to me.
The anguish I felt after you were gone finally
replaced with wonderful memories
that...

Your Adopted Child
(Youth) 

I wonder where my mother is
And why she let me go?
I wish I had my mommy
So much I need to know

How did I come about then
where is my father too?
Oh I wish I had my mommy
She'd know exactly what to do!

Who is this woman...

Orphan early he was left 

By God was adopted!

My Adopted Way Home
Thus the day started with the norm, children playing in the storm

Feelings so hungry, hunger galore, a pain that never goes away that I do not adore

Crying in such a way that seem to stay
That my caretakers seem to think that children are fakers
So they...

Premium Member My Dog's Adopted
At what age should I tell my dog he's adopted?
Don't want him to start drinking, and getting el blotto
He was bought at a store
And even what's more
He isn't a human though he tries to act macho...

Though I look sober, still in the Lord do I indeed rejoice

The First Time I Saw My Adopted Parents
It was Three days before we can see our new life.
My brothers and I only saw pictures of a Dad and wife.
We were from a different country that was starving.
To have chicken and mash potatoes that was a large serving.
I did not know we were...

Adopted
So you got what you wanted 
I was always haunted 
Little did I know
It's was all about your little show
Instead you knew how to throw 
My life away

You made me bleed
You made me cry
This made you feel so high
Treating me like I was the other...

Adopted Can Adapt
They were married and enjoyed it the most,
They both earned and made more and more,
They were wealthy and healthy beyond compare,
Life flowed in little gems and pearls,
As they thickened marital gel,
However marriage could not bear the fruit,
When they wanted it most,
Soon desperation took over,
Medicine could...

What It Feels Like To Be Adopted
Shining in the darkness.
Praying that you don't become heartless.
Like a rose wilting in the sun.
Wanting the love that has begun.
Slipping away from reality.
Daydreaming for an eternity.
Searching endlessly for a forever family.
Hoping that this is the one.
Day after day, wishing to belong.
Hoping that it won't be...

To Our Adopted Daughter
The night that you were born
Our hearts were filled with love
We knew you were precious 
God sent you from above.

When we held you tightly
In our arms you would sleep 
You are such a blessing 
Tears of joy we would weep.

Lindsay is our daughter
Gave birth to...
