I posted this on Roman's blog for Mother's Day but decided that I wanted to repost it here as well.
Once there were two women who never knew each other.
Two different lives shaped to make you one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun.
The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love. The second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality. The other gave you a name.One gave you a talent. The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions. The other calmed your fears.One saw your first sweet smile. The other dried your tears.
One sought for you a home that she could not provide.
The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.
And now you ask me, through your tears,the age-old question unanswered through the years.
Heredity or environment, which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling. Neither. Just two different kinds of Love.

I love how you did that with the pictures through out, kind of illustrating the poem. I may have to do that for my (birth) son's scrapbook. Very touching!
How beautiful! I have heard that poem before, but adding your personal photos to it brought tears to my eyes! I am an adoptive and also a foster mom! Most people think I am crazy when I tell them I enjoy meeting the birth parents, but I have considered it to be one of the most blessed experiences of my life! Roman is clearly meant to have 2 special mothers in his life!
