Our Family Tree
We've added to our family tree a stronger one to make.
A child from another plant has become our new namesake.
Just as a limb is grafted from one tree to another.
It alters and improves the plant making it, uniquely, like no other.
Our family tree has been improved, adoption made this so.
For love, much more than bloodlines, makes us thrive and grow.
We chose to share our life and love and all the joys to come.
Our "family tree" has blossomed with the arrival of our cherished son.

Adoption
Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But nonetheless,
My very own.
Never forget
For a single minute
That you weren't born
Under my heart
But in it
by Fleur Conkling Heylinger
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him.
I Samuel 1: 27
