Writer and poet Rebecca Christain talks with Anna about milestone moments, aging gracefully, and shares her poem written for Anna's adoption story. The poem was written for the host after Rebecca heard her discuss the questions about her own origin story after hearing other adoptees find out theirs were lies.
Rebecca's poem:
Searching for Esau
We all have our book of Genesis, don’t we?
According to Scripture, mine was this:
My mother left me in a box with a note
Pleading with someone to care for her baby.
And so across the ocean my new parents did.
Still I fantasized about my brave mother,
until I learned from others one by one--
adopted from the same agency--
that they too were tucked into boxes
with an identical note.
Thus was my birthright stolen.
LIke Jacob the second twin
I grasp the heel of Esau,
My first and vanished self.
A song was selected that was written and performed by Ian Vidovic for this episode.
