This states how I feel so clearly...

ADOPTION:


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.

--Fleur Conkling Heyliger

Yep, I agree. I had those words printed on Olivia's adoption announcements.

I love those words! And I would like to get it it a wall applique in both rooms.
