| The referral photos for Sosina, April 16, 2009 |
Today is the anniversary of the day we received your
referral--the first day we ever saw your fourish-month-old little round face, heard your name and envisioned you, specifically, as our daughter. For us, your parents, today feels like your birthday. I cradled you this morning and told you about seeing your face for the first time. I told you about the little curl on the top of your head and how Daddy and I cried a happy cry. I rocked you and called you my itty bitty baby girl. You love when I refer to you as my baby and you often pretend to cry like an infant so that I scoop you up, hold you close and kiss you all over your face. This game, which happens frequently now, seems like it is making up for lost time--for both of us. I know the days where you
want to be my baby are numbered but you like to be reminded of it now. So today, I remind you and hold you and thank God for you. My baby.
