Letter from Mommy

My dearest son-

We are in the final weeks of your adoption. You are soon to come join our family and we couldn't be more excited. As I wait for you, I am reminded of the journey this last year in finding you. It hasn't been an easy time, but it has all been worth it, just like my pregnancy with Z was. The waiting, paper chasing, and setbacks were difficult because they delayed our meeting with you. We didn't want to miss out on one day with you. But God knows well what He does, and His timing is perfect. In just a few weeks we will travel to meet you. We never thought we would actually get to this point. It just seemed too good to be true. When we received the call telling us you were waiting for us and we got those first few pictures of you, we were speechless. Could God really be blessing us with you? You were beautiful and precious. As I looked into your big brown eyes for the first time, I felt an immediate connection. This was meant to be and we are so grateful to God for allowing it to happen for us.

We are aware that at times, your life and your past will include pain. While we know that we can't fix it all and we can't fully understand, we are here for you one hundred percent. We hope to share that pain with you and support you in the difficulties and the joys of your life. You are forever a part of us no matter what your journey may bring. We love you dearly. Thank you for coming into our lives!

Love Mommy
