My brother and sister-in-law are adopting a baby, and they sent me this:
Legacy of An Adopted 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, and the second taught you to live in it.
One gave you a nationality; the other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent; the other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions; the other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet 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 questions, through the years;
Heredity or environment - Which are you the product of?
Neither, my darling, neither. Just two different kinds of love.

I can never understand how anyone can adopt a child.
Perhaps because I haven't reached the family man stage yet.
