Considering Adoption as a Loving Choice for my Baby

Adoption is a loving choice expectant parent’s make for their children when they are unable to parent.

"A Mother's Love"

She carried a child beneath her heart
How she must have loved her so
She knew that they must be apart
Even as she watched her belly grow

The swelling of her belly
The movement felt within
The time would soon be coming
When she must give up this, her kin

She struggled with the thoughts inside
The decision she must make
To give this child a chance in life
One she must not take

The day arrived, a winter day
The blizzard running wild
The birthing of her little girl
Her precious little child

It must have been so very hard
To bear this one and then
Whisper as she's whisked away
"Perhaps we'll meet again"

The world so cold and lonely
Arms empty as she leaves
None can know the special hurt
And times that she so grieves

To hold the one she gave away
But it had to be for good
She could not care as she would want
Perhaps another would

Dear mother wherever she may be
It must have been so hard
To give her for another to raise
Her life it will have scarred

As the years go by, she must think
At each and every year
That special day that she gave birth
And prayed for her daughter so dear

That day would be etched in her memory forever
To forget that time and her child? NEVER!
Is she all right wherever she'll be?
Perhaps to give anything once just to see

Somewhere in this world a little girl would live
Unaware of what her mother had given
And though it hurt her to the core
She gave her a new life - an open door.
