Adoption
(Author Unknown)
Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But nevertheless
Still my own.
Never forget for a single minute
you weren't born under my
heart, but in it.
Adoption
(By Brenda Meece)
http://www.miracleofadoption.com
Today I kissed an angel
I knew it from the start
The first time my angel
Smiled at me
I gave away my heart
Today I kissed an angel
This angel child of mine
Though not of my creation
My child by God's design
Today I kissed an angel
My heart is dancing wild
Our family, by a miracle
Blessed by our angel child
Love touched our very hearts
with tenderness anew,
the day we heard your little voice
and cast our eyes on you.
One sought for you a home that she could not provide--
The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.
Born not from our flesh,
but born in our hearts,
You were longed for and wanted
and loved from the start.
Conceived from a blessing
sent straight from above,
Our very "own" son
at last home to love.
Labor of My Heart
(song: A Mother's Touch)
(By Steve and Annie Chapman)
I would have given anything
To be the one to know the pain
Of bringing you into this world
But, it couldn't be.
Though I did not bring you here
Still I labored through my tears
Through the long nights I prayed
You would come to me
You are the labor of my heart
Child, you are the labor of my heart
With all my strength I prayed
Til they laid you in my arms
Child, you are the labor of my heart
Blessed be the Maker of bone, of other bone
He's made flesh of my desire
and today, we'll take you home.
You are the labor of my heart
Child, you are the labor of my heart
with all my strength I prayed
Til they laid you in my arms
Child, you are the labor of my heart.
Our Child
(Author Unknown)
With anxious hearts and open arms,
We sought you everywhere.
You, dear child, are a gift from God,
The answer to our prayer.
No matter whether birth or choice,
A home is blessed form above.
When caring parents claim their child,
A family is formed by love.
Our Family Tree
(Author Unknown)
We've added to our family tree
A stronger one to make
A child from another plant
Has become our new namesake.
Just as a limb is grafted
From one tree to another
It alters and improves the plant
Making it, uniquely, like no other
Our family tree has been improved
Adoption made this so.
For love, much more than bloodlines,
Makes us thrive and grow.
We chose to share our life and love
And all the joys to come
Our "family tree" has blossomed
With the arrival of our cherished one.
Our Prayer
(Author Unknown)
We prayed a long time
Asking God for you.
We shared our dreams
And cried to Him, too.
He listened and answered
Our prayerful plea,
And that's when He gave you
to your dad and me!
To My Child
Once there were two women
who never knew each other
One you do not remember
The other you call mother.
Two different lives
Shaped to make yours one.
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life
The second taught you how to live it.
The first gave you a need for love
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality
The other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your sweet first smile
The other dried your tears.
One gave you up...
It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child
And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me
Through your tears,
The age old question
Through the years
Heredity or environment-
Which are you the product of?
Neither, my darling, neither
Just two different kinds of love.

Asian Adoption-
God sends us many precious gifts,
But there none that can compare
With the wonder of our baby
Who's the answer to our prayer.
The sparkle in those almond eyes
Is like the twinkling stars at night,
And the smile on that moon-shaped
Face is like sunshine's golden light.
An angel child with raven hair
And tiny little nose.
Skin so soft and perfect
As the petals of a rose.
No miracle's as wondrous-
Not trees, nor sky, nor sun-
As this "little bit of heaven," and
Our new life that's just begun!
Angels
Guardian Angels
Angels are the guardians of our souls.
Guardian Angels never take vacations.
Guardian angels work on a wing and a prayer.
My guardian has a tough job.
Our guardian angels are our companions for life.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, May your guardian angel watch over you.
Guardian angel up above
Look down on me with all your love
Watch over me both day and night
And guide me with your precious light
Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night
Regular Angels
An angel without freckles is like the heavens without stars.
An angel falls from heaven with each drop of rain to guide it to its place.
An angel in the house they say, will guard your family night and day.
An angel's work is never done.
Angel eyes
Angel on Duty
Angel sent from up above, please protect the ones I love.
Angels are a natural part of the scenery, so don't be surprised if you don't recognize
them right away.
Angels carry messages of love.
Angels gather here.
The angels light another star Each time there is a birth
To celebrate each precious child
The good Lord sends to earth.
Anyone who helps you grow is an angel to you.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers
for by doing so
Some have unwittingly entertained angels
Earth Angel
God lent us an angel, sent from Heaven above.
Good friends are angels on earth
Grandmas are earth angels
Grandmothers are angels in training
Happy is the heart that believes in angels
I Believe in Angels
If you share a smile, you have also shared an angels love
If you walk in love, you walk with angels.
Lights fade, stars appear and all the angels gather here
Love is how you earn your wings
Mommy/Daddy's little angel
Music is the voice of the angels
Night falls, stars appear, evening angels gather here.
Sent from above
Sun shines, birds sing, garden angels flowers bring.
This little angel was sent from above, to fill your heart with joy and love.
Wherever you go, Whatever you do, May the angels watch over you.
An Angel Whisper
Angels are ever all around us
And with His love they do surround us.
When my heart is sore in need
The angels come, my soul to feed.
They come to me from up above
and sing in whispers of "His" love.
When in my heart I feel a tug
I know that it's an Angel's hug.
What Do Angels Look Like?
Like the little old lady who returned
your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver that told you that your eyes
light up the world when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you
the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to
share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it
really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along,
when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart,
when you didn't think you had one to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes,
all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples,
some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies,
teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously,
they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address,
they ask nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings,
they get a great deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed,
But they are everywhere you look, when you choose to see.
Baby
For Father of a Boy
There are little eyes upon you,
And they're watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do;
And a little boy who's dreaming
Of the day he'll be like you.
You're the little fellows idol
You're the wisest of the wise,
In his little mind about you
No suspicions ever rise;
He believes in you devoutly,
Holds that all you say and do,
He will say and do in your way
When he's all grown up like you.
There's a wide eyed little fellow
Who believes you're always right;
And his ears are always open,
And he watches day and night.
You are setting an example
Every day in all you do;
For the little boy who's waiting
To grow up to be like you.

Beginning of Baby Book
(Author Unknown)
I am so very special
I have been from the start
Before they held me in their arms
My family held me in their hearts
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall
My life and love will ripples make
And touch the lives of all
So read this precious story
As step by step I grow
I am a special blessing and gift
As each page here will show.
A Baby Poem
By Kathy Rodewaed
I remember, I remember,
and how sweet the memory.
Of that precious, magic moment
when you first smiled at me.
I remember, I remember
the day you learned to walk
and the cute, amazing things you said
while learning how to talk.
I remember, I remember,
and from the very start,
you've brought me precious memories
for the album of my heart.
In My Arms
By Julie Schwartz
As I hold you in my arms
and you gently rock to sleep.
I try to memorize your face,
your tiny hands and feet.
For I know too soon this moment
will just a memory be . . .
You'll be grown and on your own
and no longer needing me
to kiss your hurts and dry your eyes
and rock you till you sleep.
So, I'll treasure every moment
to have memories I can keep.
The angels light another star
Each time there is a birth
To celebrate each precious child
The good Lord sends to earth.
Of all the blessings God sends from above
the one most precious a baby boy (girl) to love.
Our Child
God in his infinite wisdom chose
us to nurture and protect you.
He gave you into our loving care
blessing us in so many ways.
You were the most precious
and special of gifts.
On each and every day of your life
you must always remember,
You are loved more than mere
words can ever express.
Not only do we cherish every one
of the days we spend with you,
We're so fortunate to know
that you also love us too.
God sent to us a perfect angel, his eyes are bright and blue
his smile shines like heaven's light, when he looks up at you
his loving nature warms the soul, and fills all hearts with joy
each day I thank the Lord above, for our perfect little boy
Cleaning and scrubbing
can wait 'til tomorrow
For babies grow up,
we've learned to our sorrow . . .
So quiet down cobwebs,
Dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby
and babies don't keep.
My Handprints
My little hands play pat-a-cake
They play peek-a-boo and wave...
They catch me while I learn to walk
And splash me as I bathe.
My little hands reach up to you,
For hugs before I sleep...
And fold together when I pray
The Lord my soul to keep.
My little hands are tiny now
But yours will serve to guide me . . .
And when I'm grown I'll still reach out
And know you're right beside me.
My Footprints
Someday I'll jump through puddles,
Take a stroll or run a race.
Someday I'll walk across the street
Or maybe walk in space.
Someday I'll scale a mountain
Or I'll join a ballet corps.
Someday I'll walk a tightrope
Or explore the ocean floor.
Someday these feet will do some things
That only heaven knows,
But for today they're happy
Just to wiggle all their toes!
Counting Baby's Toes
(Author Unknown)
Dear little bare feet, dimpled and white,
In your long nightgown wrapped for the night;
Come, let me count all your queer little toes,
Pink as the heart of a shell or a rose.
One is a lady that sits in the sun;
Two is a baby, and three is a nun;
Four is a lily with innocent breast;
Five is a birdie asleep in its nest.
A Baby's Feet
By Algernon Charles Swinburne
A baby's feet, like sea-shells pink,
Might tempt, should heaven and sea meet
An angel's lips to kiss, we think,
A baby's feet.
Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat
They stretch and spread and wink
Their ten soft buds that part and meet.
No flower-bells that expand and shrink
Gleam half so heavenly sweet,
As shine on life's untrodden brink
A baby's feet.
A baby is cuddles and tickles on toes,
The sweet scent of powder, a kiss on the nose.
A baby is teddy bears, rattles, powder and pins,
meals at midnight, giggles and grins.
What a Baby Costs
By Edgar Guest
How much do babies cost?" said he
The other night upon my knee;
And then I said: "They cost a lot;
A lot of watching by a cot,
A lot of sleepless hours and care,
A lot of heartache and despair,
A lot of fear and trying dread,
And sometimes many tears are shed,
In payment for our babies small,
But every one is worth it all.
"For babies people have to pay
A heavy price from day to day.
There is no way to get one cheap.
Sometimes when they're fast asleep
You have to get up in the night
And go and see that they're all right.
But what they cost in constant care
And worry, does not half compare
With what they bring of joy and bliss
You'd pay much more for just a kiss.
"Who buys a baby has to pay
A portion of the bill each day;
He has to give his time and thought
Unto the little one he's bought.
He has to stand a lot of pain
Inside his heart and not complain;
And pay with lonely days and sad
For all the happy hours he's had.
All this a baby costs, and yet
His smile is worth it all, you bet."

What is a One-Year-Old?
A one-year-old daughter
is so many things -
A tiny discoverer of butterfly wings,
a hugger of teddies,
a sweet sleepyhead,
and someone to dream for
in bright years ahead . . .
A special new person
who, right from the start,
has a place in the family
and, of course, in your heart.
And, just when you think
that you've learned all the things
that your dear daughter is
and the joy that she brings,
a hug or a grin
comes with such sweet surprise
that love finds you smiling
with tears in your eyes!
