Dear Little Boy – whose face I do not yet know.
Soon we will meet you and you might be very frightened. We will be gentle with you. We will show you how to love, how to be in a family — we will show you the special love that a family shares. You won’t be alone much longer, my dear boy, and yet you don’t know how your life will truly change. Having two wonderful daughters, I always dreamed of the opportunity to raise a son. What an experience it will be to have you in our lives.

Our love will make you shine — your love will make us a family. And as long as it takes for you to connect with us, it’s okay. We aren’t going anywhere.

Whoever you may be, you are already in my heart. I can’t wait to meet you … My baby, my child, grow old along with me, the best is yet to be ….

Love, Mommy and Daddy
