I am "Mom" hear me roar...

Cross-Cultural Adoption

I don’t look like my mommy

People have started to say

I don’t look like my mommy

So I asked her why one day

“Some babies are so special,

They come in different ways

Some must wait for their babies

For days and days and days

Some babies come from close by

The Mom who had them could not’t stay

Other Mommies are waiting for them

For a baby they pray and pray and pray

Other babies are born in a far-away land

The mommy who had them no longer there

But some Mommies fly across the sea

A baby’s love to share

You may have a different skin color

Or a different kind of hair

But the love Mommy has for her baby

Will truly always be there

No matter how you or I look

One thing will always be true

You are my precious baby

And I will always love you
