Bonding

I have read so many articles and websites about adoption and how to bond with adopted children. It has helped a lot to have an experienced social worker who conducted our home study that has also adopted multiple children herself and has a lot of insight. While I was doing some research, I came across this poem that I wanted to share:

The Gift of Life

I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.

For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.
