HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!
Maya turns one!
Been thinking a lot about how Maya's birth mother is doing today. It is December 24th in Taiwan. I wonder about her all of the time. I looked at her picture the other day and it all came back to me. I wonder if she is hurting. I wonder if she is trying to go about her day trying to forget the unforgetable. I wonder. I hope she is okay. I hope she can feel peace in her decision. I hope she knows through our post adoption updates that Maya is thriving and that she is a happy, curious and very busy little girl. I hope that she knows how much Maya is loved. I hope she knows that Maya will know her someday. I hope.
So Happy Birthday little one. What a gift you are.

Happy Birthday, Maya! May all of your wishes come true and may this new year bring you more miracles and happiness!
Janalee, I also thought about Camille's birthmother a lot on her birthday. I feel such a mixture of sadness for her family in Taiwan and gratitude to them. And like you, wondering and hoping they know how much we treasure and love Camille.
I am sure there is lots of celebrating going on in your house this weekend! So many miracles to be grateful for...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
I know how you feel. Aaron turned 1 a few weeks ago and I couldn't get his birthmother out of my mind. It had to be a hard day for her. We were celebrating his specail day and we own it all to a very specail lady on the other side of the world!

Happy birthday to Maya. It's so good that you are still thinking of her birthmother and although I don't know how that feels(yet) I'm sure that it is a mix of emotions. But your insight, compassion and gratitude toward Maya Bmother will be a gift that she will cherish one day.
Jan- you're having a tough time too? Gosh, we NEED to do coffee. Really REALLY need to do coffee, because I'm *not* a happy girl these days. Do you still have my number? If so, call.. cause I lost yours! Whooops!
