{ Adoption }

We dreamed of you long before
You came into our world.
We dreamed about adopting
a little boy or little girl.
We didn't yet know when or
where or even if or how,
But we knew the child
we dreamed about
would come to us somehow.
The ocean of adoption has a
rough and tumble tide,
But we jumped into the water
knowing you were worth the ride.
And even though the journey
had some sad and stormy weather,
The prize was worth a million storms
when we were all together.
It's difficult to dare to dream of
becoming a father or mother,
When you can't control your destiny
and need the help of others.
That's why you're such a miracle-
you found us and we found you.
We dared to dream,
we dreamed of you.
We dreamed...and YOU came true!
--Karen Burniston


{I found this poem and love it ! Just wanted to share} We feel so blessed with our three beautiful miracles, and can't wait for another one to join our family when the right time comes.














" When you were placed in my arms, you softly slipped into my heart."
