She is a HAPPY girl

tonight my sweet, happy, silly, strong beautiful youngest daughter is fast asleep in her comfy bed in her beautiful bedroom. I kissed her good night tonight for the last time as a one year old and tomorrow she will turn two. This is her first birthday with us, her forever family. I can't help but think of her last birthday, her first. We were very lucky to receive pictures of the celebration with all of those who loved her at the True Children's Home. We are so grateful to them for this beautiful girl and for capturing those moments and memories for Amelia. I also can't help but think of Amelia's birth mother tonight. I wonder if she is thinking of the child she chose life for two years ago. I wish I could somehow let her know that she is safe and loved beyond measure. I wish I could tell her that her cleft lip and palate have been repaired and that she is healthy and happy. I wish I could say thank you to her for the amazing gift she gave my daughter ...Life....

Thank You....
