Adoption

[bluehcita]

By Jill Work

We said
We're starting on a second adoption
They said
So soon? Is that wise?
- but they didn't know
you were waiting for us...

We said
This time we want a boy
They said
Girls are easier to raise
- but they didn't know
you were waiting for us...

We said
We want a toddler
They said
It's better to adopt an infant
- but they didn't know
you were waiting for us...

They said
But how can you afford to?
We said
But how can we afford *not* to,
- since we know
you are waiting for us...

Now we need only find out who-
and where-
you are

So that you
and we
need wait no more.
