For My Children

My precious children (even those I have yet to know)

I realize that your lives are going to have questions in them. Why did my biological mommy and daddy give me up? Am I really a part of my adoptive family? What are my roots, where am I really from?

I know that this is probably part of every adoptive child's life. I hope though, that you know that you are loved. You are loved more than anything in this world. You mean so much more to me than a clean house, me-time, spills on the rugs, or anything else that changed when you came into my life. You are precious. You are chosen. You really are my dream-come-true.

I hope you know that the miracle isn't the life that you maybe feel that you have missed out on, it is the life that you have! You are MY miracle! You may not understand it until you have children of your own. But LOVE brought you here - God brought YOU to US! What an amazing thing. And even if you have to go to find answers regarding your past, love brought you here, and love will be waiting for your return. No matter how far you have to go or how long you are gone, we will always be here waiting, loving you completely, never but a phone call away.

I want you to know that we are your parents. It may not be by birth, but I couldn't love my own birthed child any more than I love you. I am writing this at a time when I only have one child. But I am already praying for the next one or ones that God has planned for me.

It is amazing to be part of such a magnificent plan as what God has for me. He has already before the foundation of the world chosen the children that I can call my own. And for that, children of my heart, I hope that you know now and forever that you are loved, you will always be loved, nothing you could do will every change that. You are precious to me, and more importantly precious to God. What a gift He has given us both - we are now a FAMILY!

With my love now and forever,

Your mommy
