Dear Adaliah,
I remember when you were not much more than a positive sign on a piece of plastic. I fell to my knees in tears thanking my Heavenly Father for the opportunity to be a mother.
I remember when the doctors couldn’t find your heart beat and before they could get me into the ultrasound room I was sobbing- I wanted to meet you so badly.
I remember when they told me you were a girl- my heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t believe it-God trusted me with one of his daughters- a little princess in my own home.

I remember being big and uncomfortable- I loved looking through your clothes wondering what your tiny body would look like in them.
I remember lying in that hospital bed in more pain than I knew was possible, but knowing you would be in my arms soon made me stronger than ever thought I could be.

I remember the sound of your first cry and the sight of your dark curly hair- I had never heard or seen anything more beautiful.
I remember our first family prayer with the three of us, just minutes after you were born. I had never felt so close to heaven.
Your first smile, your first giggle, your first belly laugh at dad…every moment since you’ve come has felt too sweet to be real. You are really MY girl. I helped create you. And through the process I have felt closer to my savoir than I ever had before.
Thank you Adaliah. Thank you for coming to our home. Thank you for teaching me how to love more deeply, how to be more patient, how to be less selfish, and how to be more sensitive to that sweet spirit you bring into our home.
I love you!
Love Mom
