Poetry About Adoption

The first evidence of Adoption appeared in an ordinary scene: The courthouse after the papers were signed. A new surname rested beside an older history. Three hands met without pretending the path was simple. The scene left one clear fact: Family can be formed through commitment without erasing origin.

I understood Adoption through one ordinary moment: Belonging began as both promise and daily practice. The silence did not explain it. It simply made room for attention to deepen.

By evening, a new surname rested beside an older history. I carried Adoption home like a note folded carefully, unfinished, but honest enough to keep.
