We adopted Darrell in March last year. March is before Mother's Day, y'all all know that. Anyway, though having an adopted kid is amazing, it didn't "fix" things. You'll see what I mean when you read my poem:

Another Mother's Day
Mother's Day is hard for me,
Because for so long I longed to be a mommy.
Becoming a foster mom, in part,
made my dreams come true.
But that "foster" part?
is a difficult thing to do.
I've lost so many children,
in so little time.
More than one of which,
I wished forever'd be mine.
I now have an adopted son,
maybe more adopted later.
And though having him helps,
it doesn't make things all better.
Even though I know I shouldn't,
Mother's Day I dread.
Wish I could simply ignore,
it's existence instead.
