no flood here, just good food, hugs,
heartfelt gratitude for this family of
strangers, a single thread of common DNA
amongst them, one birth mother, otherwise,
brothers and sister, adoptive parents, a niece
and those who love them.
Count me among them, I choose
this one with the red hair, this one
who the adoption agency assured the
parents-to-be that they did not have to
adopt him with his red hair and, yes,
he has big feet, too for a baby.
We're happy today like the little girl on
the shuttle bus from the airport who
asked us all, "Are we happy?"
Yes, in this moment, and that's all
I can ask for, in this moment.
