Adoptive Father Poem

Adoptive father
I had to be approved to be a father,
While other men didn’t have to bother.
I had to answer questions about my life,
They asked all about me and my wife.
They wanted to know if we were wild,
Or if we were fit to raise a child.
I had to bare my very soul
And explain my every goal.
They don’t understand what I went through,
Because it was something they didn’t have to do.
Most men never have to bother,
But I needed approval to be a father.
