Hope Is

For adoptees, hope is the possibility of finding your birth parents. Hope is finding out if you had siblings. Hope is realizing where you got your weird sense of humor from in your birth family. Hope is going back to a place you were supposed to call home. Hope is looking up at the moon and thinking that your parents are looking at the same moon as you.

Hope is hearing the woman who carried you for 9 months’ voice. Hope is understanding that your family now, loves you. Hope is realizing that you are not alone. Hope is desperately wanting your birth family to not reject you like they did before. Hope is loving yourself despite being seen as broken.

Hope is finding the part of you that is missing.
