A Letter to Little A on Thanksgiving Day

Little A,

Last year at this time we had just begun the adoption process and the journey that would lead us to you.  This year, we had hoped we would have our referral and had seen your face by today but that was not the plan.  We continue to await our referral.  We continue to await the introduction to our little ladybug.  Today we are celebrating Thanksgiving and giving thanks for the many blessings in our lives.  We have so very much to be thankful for.  Little A, we are thankful for you.  We are thankful for the ways you have already impacted our family and we have yet to meet you.  We are thankful for your life.  You were fearfully and wonderfully made by your Heavenly Father and we cannot wait to get to know you.  We are thankful for your birth parents and for the gift of life they gave to you.  We are thankful for our adoption agency and the people who are working hard to bring you home to your forever family.  We are thankful for the people who are caring for you while you are away from us.  Most of all we are thankful to God for calling us into this wonderful adventure of adoption and for watching over you until it is time for you to come home.

We love you Little A and are praying that you will be here to celebrate Thanksgiving with us next year!

Love,
Mama, Daddy and E
