Cherished Wish - Adoption Gifts
Celebrating Adoption

Welcome to Cherished Wish!

Inspired by the arrival of our oldest son from Seoul, South Korea, we were looking for a special way to commemorate his adoption.  Reflection resulted in my poem, Cherished Wish, along with imagery of a sun, a heart, and a star. 

The sun - for birth parents and "nature."
The heart - for adoptive parents and "nurture"
The star - the child - the blessed combination of birth and adoptive families


The poem inspired a line of gifts for families touched by adoption.  Our gifts are perfect for adoptive parents, birthparents, adoptees, and waiting fam
ilies.  

Since our start in 2001, people have told me that they are inspired by the way that Cherished Wish honors both birth and adoptive families.  I hope you enjoy the poem - my tribute to the tremendous gift that adoption has been in the life of our family!

 

We're proud to support Children's Home Society and Family Services. 


The sun is nature, warmth and light
Giving life and hope and might
Though it may be far away
Will touch the child with every ray

The heart is nurture, love and grace
Lives for each smile upon your face
Teaches what you need to know
Makes you laugh and helps you grow

For one, a wish that runs so deep
Their child - a home to safely keep
Another's wish so true and bold
A child to love and teach and hold

The star -
the wishes of the two
Heaven makes them both come true
In ways both merciful and mild
Their star - the cherished wish -
the child
