Today I woke up, went for my 5 a.m. run, came home and ordered prints of my daughter's picture. One 4x6 for my desk, another for Mike's and a 5x7 for our house.
And there is something I've never said before: my daughter.
Oh, I know we'll have our hands full and that there will be challenges, but right now I already know my daughter is beautiful, intelligent, caring and sensitive.
I can't wait to meet her. Not sure when that will be as we're working out the "transition" details. Our hope is to meet her on or around her upcoming birthday and have her move down here around Christmas or when she feels ready.
One of the many things yesterday's meeting taught us was that Rosie has won the affection of many people, and all of those people want to ensure she is safe and happy. How wonderful is that? How crazy would it be to ignore their advice or opinion? Even if in the end we decide something different. Something we feel is best for our daughter.
Oh what a wonderful pair of words "our daughter". :-)
