This is our 100th square! It came from the a family who is from Norfolk, VA from the OHGWQ swap group. They are waiting for their daughter in China.
The wish says:
Legacy of an Adopted Child
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other.
One you do not remember
The other you call Mother.
Two different lives shaped to make yours one.
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life;
And the second taught you how to live it.
The first gave you a need for love,
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality,
The other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears.
One gave you away-it was all she could do.
The other prayed for a child-God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me, through your tears,
The age-old question unanswered through the years:
Heredity or Environment-which are you the product of?
Neither my Darling, neither,
Just two different kinds of love.
