The plaque, if you can't read it, says:

To My Adopted Child
I gazed upon your tiny face
and knew right from the start
that you were sent to fill
a special place within my heart —
bedtime stories, games and laughter —
Days of tears and fun–
Giving joy in so many ways,
your smile still brings the sun–
Love entered my life forever
when you came to be —
child born of another —
Sent from God to me
— author unknown
