Dear Baby boy, I wanted to write you a letter today on your first birthday. I hope that you know that your mommy, daddy, and brother love you so much, even more than life itself. We are so thankful that God chose you to place into our family. We think you are a perfect fit. And we want you to know that today and forever, you will be our son.
Your life hasn't been perfect thus far, but don't worry, no ones really is. From the day we brought you home though, we have endeavored and will continue to give you a stable home, a loving environment, with a lot of fun thrown in all while you learn to love Jesus first and others second.
I don't really know the time you were born today or how much you weighed. Those are things most moms revel in telling everyone. I just want everyone to know that you are special because you were born on this day and even though I didn't know you that day, I know you now and you are even more special because of the circumstances surrounding how you came to join our family.
Some will say to you someday that your skin color isn't the same as your mommy and daddy. And that is true. But you know what, we just don't care. You are the perfect fit for our family. I think you are the most handsome little man. Skin color is just outside adornment. Inside is what really matters, son, please don't forget that.
I hope that one day you will remember that we loved you from the minute we heard about you. We knew in our hearts that you were our son. You were the perfect fit for us as parents and for Austin as your brother. And I hope someday, you know what it is like to be a big brother to more kids that God joins our family with.
Happy Birthday, my son! Know we love you more than anything in this world. Know that you are special - created with a purpose in mind.
Love always and forever,
Mommy
