Sometime next month I shall have another first,
It'll be the first time I meet my biological father,
It'll be somewhat scary,
But there's nothing I would rather.

Finally I'll have the answers,
To many life long questions,
No more holes in the family tree,
We can talk and make suggestions.

It was hard growing up,
Knowing I was adopted,
Family special occasions never felt quite mine,
Oh I always did enjoy them and have a good time.

In 1992 I found my mother,
And 3 1/2 sisters too,
And only yesterday,
I spoke to my Dad for an hour or two.

Now my circle is complete,
All questions are answered,
Now I'm luckier than most,
I have two sets of loving parents.

But my son Dylan is luckiest of all,
He now has 6 grandparents,
Who all love him dearly,
In his life love and family will be apparent.

He'll never have those questions,
Those niggly little doubts,
He'll know where he came from and why,
He'll never feel left out.

Isis: Many children don't look for fear of remaining unwanted and I guess some are but with all the people I ever spoke to (I gave my daughter up for adoption) many remain in a prison for life, because they never know what happened to their children...I am so happy you will finally be at peace - all of you!

Hugs most welcome, Isis....I forgot to mention we live with guilt...there is never a right or wrong action to take, nothing we do can ever be right, too many people are hurt, whatever the options...we live with our actions and so do you...

Every story I hear like yours, makes me smile!

I always smiled too, until I found them. We can share and understand these feelings so well, the adoptees or their parents
Thanks RG!!

Just a little jumping for joy...for you that you have been able to have the good fortune for things to turn in your favor......happy to hear that you have had some of those questions answered.

I truly believe there is a reason for everything...and that your life is now rewarded with answers to your life's questions.  Happy Holidays.

Congratulations.. I'm glad you've gotten the chance to  find and meet your entire family.. Beautiful poem.

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
