I chose this poem because I had a family that adopted a little girl and her story has always touched my heart. The adoptive mom used to say her daughter did not grow in her belly but in her heart!
To My Baby
I knew of you before your birth,
I loved you before we ever met.
I prayed for you day and night,
Thankful your birth mother had chosen life.
I loved you before we ever met.
I prayed for you day and night,
Thankful your birth mother had chosen life.
The waiting was so anxious and hard,
You already held a place in my heart.
Weeks went by, and sometimes I cried.
Finally one day came a call with good news.
You already held a place in my heart.
Weeks went by, and sometimes I cried.
Finally one day came a call with good news.
Tears of joy fell on my cheek
The first time I held you,
Precious Baby, so tiny and sweet.
I'm thankful your birth mother had chosen life.
The first time I held you,
Precious Baby, so tiny and sweet.

Rocking and singing sweet lullabies,
You've brought much joy to so many lives.
I'll love you forever, sweet little one.
Memories to treasure, a new life begun.

Wow thats a really touching poem. Thats awesome they were able to adopt a little girl. I would totally adopt too if I couldn't have children or had the money. Children our a gift to the world.
