I found this poem in my church's newsletter, and thought it was lovely (they did a little article about adoption and had a sidebar on a couple who adopted from China).

Your Chinese Momma

I kiss your pudgy cheek every night
when you're asleep.

I smell you and breathe you.

My heart and soul ache for her.
I know I am not as courageous as she.
So much love and hope for you, she swaddled you and
placed you in a box.

A manger to me.

I talk to her every night when I kiss your cheek.
I breathe your smell, and her soul.
