THE ADOPTION

"You're giving up all your rights,

you know that, don't you dear"?

I nodded my head yes

holding back a tear.

"You understand his name will change

and he will be their son,

and once you sign this paper

the adoption will be done"?

Once again I answered yes

with a simple nod of head

not even really hearing

just what it was he said.

"Once you sign these papers

you can never change your mind."

"When you walk out through those doors

you're leaving him behind."

As my tears begin to flow

I said "there's something

you should know"

"You see, your honor

I love my son.

"I'm looking out for my number one".

"I love him more than life, you see,

"I love him more than I love me."

"This is the hardest thing I'll ever do"

"it makes me feel my life is through.

"But what I'm giving him today,

is a chance to live another way."

"I'll feel this pain for the rest of my life

but in his world there'll be no strive".

>From his bench, the judge looked down

he cleared his throat and looked around.

"May God bless you, always dear

for what it is you're doing here."

and with a pen and shaking hand

I signed those papers on that stand.

I only pray someday you'll know

how very much I love you so.

I wrote this in 1978. A birthmom's feeling.

Du vet hvordan man ¨får frua her i huset til og gråte, ja.

Sminkefjerner ble på en måte ikke helt det samme.
