I could never count the number of times I prayed for you. Before you came along, I wanted nothing more than to hold you and to be your mommy. Before I even knew you, I loved you. When I first saw you, my heart was bursting with thankfulness to God. This past year has been full of joyful memories for your daddy and I. We are amazed everyday at the new things you learn, the faces you make, the way you call me 'dad' still...
When you grow up, you might have questions about your adoption. You're father and I will be here to answer them. Whatever your feelings are about it-know that we love you completely, totally, and unconditionally. Through God's perfect plan we were made a family. Looking back on our lives now, it is wonderous to see the different ways he has been working through us and in us for years to make this happen. I can't wait to share that with you when you're old enough to understand.
Although I hate to say it because it means you're growing up too fast-Happy birthday, my sweet boy!
Love,
Mommy
