Two Mothers


From the Legacy of An Adopted Child

Two different lives shaped to make you one.
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun.

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love. The second was there to give it.

One sought for you a home that she could not provide.
The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.

*Jack is loved very much by both his mothers. I spoke to Jack's birth mother before posting the above picture taken at his birthday party yesterday. I would never post a picture of her without permission.

Look at Baby Jack eyeing S's food.
This is a great photo. Love the poem!
