Family of Strangers the film?!
Question: I doubt anyone will know this, hehe! But there is a scene where Julie is lying in bed and her father shows her a letter her mother wrote. There's a poem in it which relates to her being adopted .... it's really sweet. I've only recently found out that my mother had a child adopted before I was born, and I related to the film. I'd love to have a copy of the poem though, thanks.

hi it goes like this not sure who the author is though.
Not flesh of my flesh.
nor bone of my bone
but still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute you didn't grow under my heart but in it.
As an adopted child myself Ive always adored this poem.
I don't know that it would help, but try laboroflove.com. It has adoption poetry. Could be a start. Hope it helps
I know what you mean. i am in the same boat my mother had a daughter adopted before i was born and i she found me a couple years ago which was very emotional. Until she contacted me out of the blue i knew nothing about her. Sadly she contacted me to late to meet our mum who passed away the year before taking with her her secret which luckily did not stay secret to long...
