Adoption isn't easy

by crystaljean88   May 30, 2011


I knew I was pregnant,
My body always in pain.
Knowing this made me scared,
A baby girl I won't gain.

Adoption isn't easy,
But I have no other choice.
Placing you will be hard,
I promise, I wont rejoice.

The love I have for you,
Is still here and strong.
You're still my daughter,
But you're where you belong.

They will love you,
Give you what you need.
All the things you want,
A wonderful family indeed.

I miss you very much,
Thats not even half.
My heart is still broken,
I can't find myself to laugh.

Please don't be mad,
I did this for you.
How hurt I really am,
I wish you only knew.

    Second stanza: "wont" should be "won't".
    fifth stanza: "thats" should be "that's".

    I really have no other suggestions, the flow was nice in this poem and if this is what you've gone through, I think there is a tangible strength to do what is best for the child, even if it's the hardest. I admire that and I can't even imagine how beautiful it would be to become a mother, but how difficult and how much you would miss your baby giving it up for adoption. Such a heartfelt, loving poem with a lot of hurt, but I nodded my head in agreement when you said she'll still be your daughter, and she will be loved, never forget that. I'm sure you took the time to find her the best place she could be and that takes courage.

    Emotional write, take care.

    Aw, this is so sad, I feel so sad that you had to make such a hard choice; although, this makes me sad I would be sadder if you would've had an abortion.

    Well written...AL
