     ""Adoption Loss is the only trauma in the world where the victims are expected by the whole of society to be grateful" - The Reverend Keith C. Griffith, MBE"

     

    An Adoptee's Plea

    They took away the children
    and they took away their names
    and they gave them to new parents,
    to hide the shame.

    They said none of this would matter,
    once it was covered up,
    but now we are here to tell you
    that we have had enough.

    We need to know our histories-
    our own identities.
    It's not enough to tell us
    we're just adoptees.

    We need to know our race; our culture;
    some medical history.
    As well as that, we'd like to know
    how we came to be.

    I cannot tell you what it's like,
    the frustration and the pain;
    words cannot describe it;
    they would only be in vain.

    Just try to understand
    what we are asking for;
    a vital piece of our own selves
    to fill the void-to heal the soul.

    Hey girl -- delayed reaction! I've been in denial and now I'm back with a vengeance. I found a blog today that reminds me so much of your sense of humor and had to share it with you. I've missed you! How have you been?
