The following is the first in a new series of posts by guest author Michael Hedges focusing on international adoption and life as an adoptive family. Stay tuned for further posts.
For when you are 18
People will say we rescued you
Took you from a place of terror
Stole you from sickness
People will say we’ve done wrong
Kindled the fire
Broken a culture
People will question
How do we do it
How do you feel
But we will say you are
Strong
Proud
But we will say Love knows no
Continent
Color
But Love knows
Love knows
You
