Becoming a mother was the biggest decision I have ever made and one that I have never regretted since the first day I held my beautiful baby girl.

It was an honor to take the child from the arms of her foster mother that rainy day in December 2001.  How loved she had been was obvious. She was a happy and healthy baby.

How ironic it is that my joy is at the expense of another mom’s heartache.  I hope her birth mom could know how special she is in my heart for the gift she unknowingly gave me.  I wish she could also know how her baby has matured into a beautiful, kind, sweet, smart, happy, athletic, musical and hard-working young woman.  I know she would be equally as proud as I.

How lucky I am to be Lily’s mom.  The journey has been amazing and I look forward to the future.
