I should probably be doing some laundry or finishing our last minute preparations for going on vacation, but instead I am sitting here thinking back to nearly five years ago. It was on September 19th that we received our formal acceptance from our agency. They had told us that the average time for adoptive parents to wait was 7-9 months. This was a very short time compared to other agencies we had spoken with, which was part of the reason we chose them, but that was only a small part. Anyway on October 3rd I received a call at work from the agency. We were gonna be parents, that day! I was so overwhelmed with joy I was shaking and crying. I could not wait to meet my baby girl. I will never forget the moment I held her for the first time.
When Kassi was 18 months old we had this and much more made into a book for her. She loves to hear her story and we love to tell it. We always want her to be proud of who she is and never let anyone tell her any different.
Next week my baby girl is going to turn five. Happy birthday baby girl!
