The Adoption Poem Necklace
![]()
Front-
Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone
But still miraculously,
My own.
Back-
Never forget
For a single minute
You did not grow under my heart
But in it.
This poem was written by Fleur Conkling. Known as The Adoption Creed,it was published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1952. As a beautifully phrased exploration of a unique emotional bond, it became a most special poem for parents and children alike.
The poem is engraved on an irregular disc form, which can be worn as a necklace or kept as a touchstone for pocket, purse or keychain.
