Adoption Poem

It's been 4 days since my eldest sister was located. After 43 years of separation by adoption, we can be a complete family. The best thing we each can bring to our new relationship is the memories and experiences we each have. I'm so humble and thankful to her adoptive parents for lovingly raising her to be who she is.

My Dearest Sister,
This journey has been long.
This experience like a favorite song.
Dreams realized and not abandoned,
Wishes finally granted.
My imaginary friend now has a name,
a face,
embodiment I now can claim.
I am yours and you are mine,
My sister forever,
no longer undefined.
This journey has indeed been long,
and now we know that what was wrong;
was just the timing in our past,
and now the clock can be still as last.
Long enough for us to embrace,
the promises of tomorrow and what we'll face.
I envision a reunion,
happy not sad,
in which we're altogether,
now that would be Rad!
Love from your 'Little sister.'
- Jeni Dawn

  • I am so glad you found your sister. I searched for my brother for 24 years, but when I eventually found that missing link to lead me to him, I also discovered he died 3 years earlier at the age of just 37. Now I feel my life will never be complete. I wish you and your sister great happiness and love, and hope you are able to make up for the lost years. Bless you both.

  • Wow what a beautiful poem, it seems to sum up everything that I feel about finding my half sister, my mother gave her up for adoption almost 45 years ago and I have recently found her. We've not meet yet just emailed each other and exchanged photos but I feel as though I know her so well. I hope you both every happiness and a great relationship now that you've found each other.

  • My mother searched for my biological family for years and finally found some of them a week ago. To my surprise I have three siblings that I didn't know I had. I have a bunch more to find and meet! I am so excited and thankful!

  • I found my sister who was given up for adoption at birth...47 years ago! All I can say is God granted us a miracle. My sister was alone for so much of her life and now she is in a big big family. She was always missed and now that we've found her she's missed even more!! I pray God will provide for us to all meet all 7 of us siblings!! <3 I love you Abby Lynn
