Dear list members, Even though this doesn't fall 100% under the guidelines of this list, I feel that in honor of Tim's new addition to his family and the start of his own new family I would share a poem a friend of mine wrote in honor of his adopted children and gave us permission to print in the newspaper we own call the "Candor Statement" printed in Candor, NY. I have his permission to reprint this. Hope you enjoy it. To Love a Child by Dick Anderson To bear a child Not a mother makes In name only is it so For Mothers love In the heart is born And the hearts were It does grow The adopted child You've taken in And given love so warm Is just as much A part of you As if to you were born
