Donated Poems

Oh my goodness Kim, this has brought me to tears. It's absolutely beautiful. How am I going to read them to the boys without crying?

We used this book to build up to the meeting of birth siblings. It's a beautiful way to honour our child's past.

Jess reads her book out loud to herself and her brother. We will treasure your words for a lifetime.
