Adoption Day (10 years)
My Sweet Daughter.
Your humor and kind heart fill my life with so much joy!
Happy Adoption Day #10
Wow! ten years ago the judge said "yes".
I love you so much.
As I pause to reflect...
it simply amazes me how privileged I am to be your Mother.
Just tears me up with gratitude.
It is always a mystery to me what I wrapped. I knew it would be one of the dolls.
Next year I think is the girl doll to match him. Her adoption day gifts are all wrapped in her paper from her baby showers. She was a very celebrated baby.
He is hand made by a local Russian artist. We bought him at a kiosk, a type of little shop set up on the streets. They line the sidewalks. Barter system was still used there. This was 10 years ago on a icy, snowy sidewalk. I can still see the doll hanging up on the shelter of the lean too shack. I loved the beauty of the hand work. The boots are real leather and the fur is authentic. She warmed up to him after a while. I think it was a strange thing for her to open.
Wow she is so grown up.

What a great day to remember! I wish my parents had celebrated that. I'm just thankful that they told me at a young age so that i would understand what it meant to be chosen. Kind of like being Chosen as a Child of God!
