Happy Birthday, Emma


Sweet Emma,

Today is your third birthday.  It is the last birthday you will spend without knowing that you have a mommy and a daddy and a whole family that love you dearly.  We already love you even though we haven’t met you yet.  I pray that today somehow you know how dearly loved you are.  We are celebrating you.  I made you a birthday cake.  I have been thinking of you and praying for you throughout this day, and every day.  I can’t wait until we can be together and begin our lives together.  I want you to know the Father’s unconditional love as your dad and I love you.  I want you to know the embrace of those who will always be there for you.  I want you to know that you are not simply another child in your orphanage, you are our child.  You have been chosen.  You are special and precious. 

Love,
Your Mommy

Happy Birthday, sweet Emma!

It hurts to miss a birthday, especially when you KNOW you are missing it. We missed our little guy's 1st birthday and the first 3 birthdays of our oldest. BUT...I can say we had a GRAND celebration and a wonderful time celebrating their 2nd and 4th birthdays at HOME, all together with our families.

Continuing to pray for you and Emma.
