On January 8th we celebrated your adoption day. I asked you where you wanted to go for your special day. You wanted to go to Fuddruckers. I was happy to go because I love their french fries and cheese dip! You were happy to go because you love their quarter machine of squishies, and you love their game in the arcade with the arm that gives you a prize.
Yep, that was fun. But my favorite part of adoption day is sitting down with you and looking at your baby book. You were the most adorable baby girl! This year we talked about how you came to us as Maria, and why we changed your name to Mary once the adoption was finalized. You told me you liked the name Maria. I do too. We also spoke about your birth mom. I asked you if you wanted me to tell you more information and you said no. I respect that. You let me know when you are ready.Mary, you are beautiful. You are strong. You are tender. I love you with all my heart.
Love,
Mom
