An Adoption Poem

You gave her birth
We’ll give her life
You gave her todays
We’ll give her tomorrows

You gave her race
We’ll give her identity
You gave her heritage
We’ll give her future

You gave her possibilities
We’ll give her potentials
You gave her up
We’ll have to let go

You dream of her future
We’ll work hard for your dreams to come true
You gave her hope
We will too.

_{Tom Fisher - "I am now the proud father of two adopted daughters, both are from China. Our second adoption was in February of this year."
