Your mom and dad knew before anyone else…you were coming.  You were growing in their hearts at such a rapid rate that they could feel the transformation piercing into every portion of them.  It just took time to find you.

They filled out forms.  They showed up for interviews.  And you grew.  And grew.

One day the phone call came.  You were HERE.  It was time to meet mom and dad.

Bags were packed, prayers were prayed, hands trembled with excitement and a million other emotions because YOU were waiting for them.  You, who had grown in their hearts to the point they that they might explode, WERE HERE.

Little Miss C and Little Mr. A, may you know that even with all the risks and fears of utter heartbreak – your mom and dad would go through it again – a million times over.  They have loved you long before you took your first breath.  And they will walk you through the good and the hard and the everything in between that is life.  Because love walks us all the way home…
