Our Child
With anxious hearts and open arms,
we sought you everywhere.
You, dear child, are a gift from God,
The answer to our prayer.
No matter whether birth or choice,
A home is blessed from above.
When caring parents claim their child,
A family is formed by love. ~ Author Unknown

Malina
Adoption You first came to us in an envelope with letters, forms and such.
Just two tiny little pictures with nothing warm to touch.
You grew in our imagination in our hearts and in our minds.
You brought us greater joy than we ever thought we'd find.
A phone call started labor pains which lasted 'til we met.
Strangers brought together a day we won't forget.
You bloomed as you were planned in our hearts, our lives, our home.
Our child of chance, of plan, of will you're now our very own.

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined
to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.
