Tina,
I'm so sorry.....these milestones are such tough days. But I wanted to share my story with you because maybe you aren't so delusional after all.
When Camille turned one, she was still in Guatemala. At the time, we were told we would never bring her home. So here I was, sobbing my eyes out, thinking she would never be home, and thinking the foster family didn't even know when her birthday was.
Fast forward a couple months....the adoption decision was reversed...we were on the pick-up trip, and her foster family pulled out an envelope with pictures of her first birthday party!! Not only did they KNOW, they had one heck of a bash for her....all her extended family was there, she had a big Dora pinata, a beautiful party dress and dress shoes, and an awesome cake! And the foster Mom took pictures for us to keep so we have memories of her 1st b-day to share with her. It was fabulous.
Missing these days is hard. But next year will be even sweeter!!!!!
Hugs,
Cindy
