Here is a little poem, to honor our second adoption opportunity. This was a whirlwind because the baby arrived three weeks early, the very day we traveled interstate to meet the potential birth parents for the first time...... to decide together if we were a match.
Today we arrived home after it became clear that an adoption plan was not "in the works"......
It was an Honor
It was an honor baby girl
To meet you your first hour
To have your bundled warmth
Pressed against my chest
It was an honor baby girl
To hold your little head
To know the boney pieces
Were not yet fully set
It was an honor baby girl
To give you your first feed
To watch you start to suck
Not knowing when to breathe
It was an honor baby girl
To rub against your tiny feet
To try and keep you sucking
Until the bottle was more spent
It was an honor baby girl
To have my arms complain
To move you to my knees
Bundled twice your tiny frame
It was an honor baby girl
It was an honor sweet Jayden Addison
It was an honor

Dennis and Lara were approved for the adoption of a newborn in the US. They are very much looking forward to becoming parents. The whole family was very excited particularly Dennis' Mom aka Grandma who refered to this precious one as Twinkle Toes. Twinkles Toes didn't find us before we lost Grandma to cancer. This blog tracks some of that most difficult year.
