Send this adoption poetry as a postcard. This Is Our Daughter By Jill Work THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER.    We adopted her,    but we will NOT be    referring to her as    "our adopted daughter."    She is simply "our daughter". THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER--    and the niece of her aunts and uncles,    the grandaughter of her grandparents,    the cousin of her cousins,    and the sister of any future children    we add to the family    by biology or adoption. THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER.    There is no "return policy"    on an adopted child.    The whole idea of adopting    is a lot like marriage.    You make a lifetime    commitment to a person    with no biological    relationship to you.    You promise to "love and cherish"    for "richer, for poorer,    for better, for worse,    in sickness and in health-    as long as we both shall live." THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER,    and we ARE her real parents.    She has birth parents    (sometimes called    biological parents),    but we are her Mom and Dad,    and always will be. THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER,    and we love her.    We hope that you will too! THIS IS OUR DAUGHTER. Copyright 1998 Jill Work Send this poem as a postcard.
