The Adoption Community


The Adoption Tree


You and I
have loss in common;
that is our strength,
our earth.

We have grief
and longing
and joy.

We are the canopy of care
we release our worry to the wind,
roar and whisper
as the seasons change.

We are
ever growing
grafted and separate
in our tree
rooted in earth.
