Since being reunited with my birth families, I have begun to find answers to many questions that have gone through my mind for as long as I can remember. During my search, I have discovered that there are many other adoptee’s out there who have similar questions as well as feelings. It has been a great help for me to read poems that have been written by others detailing their feelings. I hope by reading the following poems, you to can begin to understand the some of the hidden pain and suffering many adoptee’s have gone through. In addition to the first poem, Labor of Love which was written by my birth mother, you will find several poem’s I have run across while surfing the net. I have attempted to give credit where due, if you notice any mistakes please let me know.
