Oath of Adoption
As the sea to the river, as the tree to the seed, as the mountain to the stone, so do I now recognize you to me. From this day forward, you are of my blood, of my family and of my hold.
I swear to offer you my wisdom, my love and my regard, for you will carry my name and my memory when I am no more. Should I abandon you, I abandon myself. It fills my heart to call you (son/daughter).
(RESPONSE) As the river to the sea, as the seed to the tree, as the stone to the mountain, so do I know recognize myself in you. From this day forward, I am of your blood, your family ad your hold. I swear to offer you my respect, my devotion and my love, for you offer me a home where I have none. Should I abandon you, I consign myself to loneliness. It fills my heart to call you (mother/father)
