Emma turns three on Friday!

Good everning freinds,

It has been a while since I have posted, but want all of you to know that I read the boards everyday amd check in on all of you. I celebrate each homecoming and referral and pray for all of you still waiting for your children.

It is amazing to me that my 'baby' is going to be 3 on Friday. We have been together for almost 2 1/2 years. Not a day goes by when I don't stop to realize how blessed I am with this little girl in my life. She was truly meant to be my daughter. Although I think of her often, it is at this time of the year that I so often think of Emma's birthmom. I am so grateful to her for this precious little girl. I pray that somehow she knows that Emma is a happy, healthy and very much loved little girl.

Friday, on her actual birthday, we will celebrate with Family and close friends. On Sunday, we will have a kids party at Chuckee Cheese. In attendance will be two of Emma's roommates from Guatemala, who have become her dearest friends, as well as three other children from Guatelama.

I have attached a recent picture of Emma.

Take Care,

Lori, Mom to Emma Rose, who will be 3 on Friday
