National Adoption Day? xx

I wish i had a happy story to tell..........i wish i could tell you how i took a tiny, sickly, uneducated child and gave her a wonderful life. I did, do that. She did not appreciate it, so i moved on. It would be wrong to want someone that does not want me. Nineteen years ago she asked me twice, why did i adopt her. The five most horrible words an adoptive parent can hear. You go out of your way......to do all the little extras and all the big things. You make the huge parties and go to Disneyland. You spend time baking cookies and having long talks. You rent the sax and follow the band in a parade. You have family hugs, silly nick names and try to form a bond that will last a lifetime. ........Nineteen years ago you tried to take it all away from me. But i held on like any parent would, giving you eighteen more years of me and my love. Why did i adopt you? I wrote it down once before.......here it is again: Because you needed a home. I wanted to see your beautiful face every day. I wanted to be a family with you. Papa said... i want her to be a part of our family. Because we loved you. xx
