I posted on a random ancestry adoption board 15 years ago,
and finally got a response 15 years later, never give up hope...
___________
I grew up with 2 mothers,
though they were not lesbians,
one was with me physically,
the other emotionally.
Thank you, mom.
I was told as an infant I was adopted,
so there was never any 'Aha!' moment,
it was something I'd inherently known,
and I'm eternally grateful for this revelation.
Thank you, mom.
I remember being a teenager
rebelling against an unjust reality,
and yelling at the top of my lungs,
'You're not my real mother, anyway!'
Thank you, mom.
I sat and stared at the ceiling often,
promising to live an adventurous life
to impress my mother with gorgeous stories,
so she wouldn't regret her decision.
Thank you, mom.
I've made a thousand mistakes
and told a million lies to my mother,
just to get what I wanted,
which I feel eternally shameful for.
Thank you, mom.
When I was high with happiness,
I wished I could find my mother right then,
and when I was fighting my depression again,
I was happy she didn't know I was a failure.
Thank you, mom.
And though no poem could ever express
how much my mother has been there with me,
through all I've been and have become,
I just want to say that I love you both, equally.
Thank you, mom.
Throughout all my mistakes and lies,
my mother has always supported me,
and after 40 years of searching the unknown
I can finally say I've found them both,
physically and emotionally...
