Why would she think it was dorky- she will realize that you were celebrating her life even as you waited.

I have watched folks struggle over this issue as they wait and I realizedd this week that all parents celebrate their child's birthday even when their kids are not physically with them- parents whose children are serving in the military, parents whose children moved away, etc. Even parents whose kids have passed, recognize the day. why should parents who are adopting feel that they should not recognize the day and celebrate the life of thier child?

Love to you,
