Wow sassy!
I will join you in praying for her birth mother...
For us, this is such a storybook, fairytale ending- and yet it is no ending at all, it is only the beginning...I know how extremely blessed I am, and that we are..
My kids are overjoyed. My daughter has never been a secret in our family...we remember her all the time...holidays, birthdays, vacations...we always know that she is missing. Our Core was shattered, and we know it, we don’t hide it...
it is amazing how different her parents are from me, yet how much she is like me..lol— not talking about physically— she is a pistol! full of game, competition, and humor....
yet— she is so like her mom and dad in so many ways too....
thank you again for sharing a part of your life with me...
Hugs and blessings to you! :)
Our daughter has known from the beginning that she is the most special souvenir anyone could ever bring home! We jokingly call her our LC (little commie), and she is always treated like a Russian princess. She is spoiled rotten by 2 older brothers, grandparents, aunts & uncles. She is such a blessing to our entire family!
God is good—I couldn’t have kids of my own (I was not a viable candidate for fertility), but I married the love of my life who already had 2 wonderful little boys (now they are married and one is a daddy!), so I went from none to 3. Isn’t it neat how God’s plan always works out even when we can’t see it happening? I remember how devastated I was when pregnancy NEVER happened, and how I just wanted my own child to call me “mommy” (my sweet boys call me by my first name). So our wonderful Russian girl is definitely icing on the family cake.
I knew she was ours before I even saw her—I know this sounds woo-woo, but I dreamed I held her and saw her babyroom in Russia. Then after that dream, 2 days later we were called by the agency to come look at pictures and she was the baby in the video. I just started crying and my husband knew she was the one. The hairs on my arms stood up the minute I saw the video. That’s definitely a God-thing!
Anyway, TMI probably, but I am crazy about my “kids.” And so thankful that God has blessed me with being their stepmom, adoptive mom...
