I’ve mentioned from time to time that I was adopted and I know that their are parents on the board that have adopted children with CAH. I think there is one family that has adopted a couple of babies with CAH.   Going through old boxes and I found this and wanted to share. I don’t know who the author is but my guess is that it was a Mom that had a cherished idea of her child being out there and knew that there are many ways children come to us for love, guidance, and growth because the birth Mom wanted better for her child also. My parents already had three children but needed one more. They could of had any child in that orphanage/foster care system but knew I was the one when they saw me.

 

The Answer

Not flesh of my flesh,

Nor bone of my bone,

But still miraculously

My own.

Never forget

For a single minute:

You didn’t grow under my heart,

But in it.
