As We Near Our 1 Year Anniversary with Katy




In a couple of days, it will be the one year anniversery of when she was placed in my arms. I found this beautiful poem and wanted to share it with you:



Legacy of an Adopted Child
Author Unknown


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 you one

One became your guiding star, the other became your sun

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 gave you a nationality

The other gave you a name

One gave you a talent

The other gave you aim

One gave you emotions

The other calmed your fears

One saw your first sweet smile

The other dried your tears

One sought for you a home that she could not provide

The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied

And now you ask me through your tears

The age old question unanswered through the years

Heredity or environment which are you a product of?

Neither my darling neither, just two different kinds of Love.
