The first time I held you…

 The first time I held you…

I had just woken up from anesthesia. The last thing I remembered was almost losing you, but now I held you in my arms. Thank the Lord that he gave you the gift of life, Clark! What would I do without you?

I had just experienced the excruciating pain of childbirth, but now I held a wide-eyed, dark-haired beauty in my arms. Callie, I thank God for the gift of you. You are an amazing young lady.

I was secretly scared to death. I had never adopted before and I knew nothing about the lifetime of special care I was signing up for, but I knew that I loved you and that God would guide me through each step. Katya is my strong-willed, confident girl.

I was overwhelmed with your unhinged ways, but those huge brown eyes and curly hair… Who couldn’t fall in love with you instantly? You are my never ending source of energy. Thank you God for Brody!

You wept for what seemed like an eternity. You didn’t know me well and you were so scared, but you soon realized that I loved you. I am so grateful the Lord added Milana to my life. She brings joy to all she meets.
