On this, the last day that my little girl is 6, I am allowed to be a little nostalgic. 7 years ago today, I was hoping and waiting. We were matched with a birthmom who was 2 weeks late with a baby. We had no idea if it was a boy or a girl or if that birthmom would really let us have her baby. 7 years ago today, life was good enough, yet something was missing. But 7 years ago tomorrow, EVERYTHING changed...
I look at some of these earliest pictures of Basia, and I really do see so much of who she still is today in them. Look at that bottom picture. She was barely two weeks old, and look at the strength she already had. Look at that middle picture, and see the spark of fun and endless personality that was already there! Look at that top picture and know that I am so very happy for all the circumstances in life that led to us bringing those two children together forever. I wouldn't wish infertility or the adoption roller coaster on anyone, but THANK THE LORD that it all happened to me! My 6-year-old is still asleep, and for this one, last day, she is still 6. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
