Last night Anastasia asked if she could have a look at her photo's that were taken on the day that we went to fetch her. She said she wanted to see the pictures of the lady whose tummy she came out of. We went through all the photo's together. Ive always told her how excited we were on that day, and she loves hearing that part of the story. So while we looked through the photo's I asked her to look at our faces and tell me what she thought we were feeling. In each of the pictures she could see how happy and excited we were to meet her and hold her for the first time. I love that I have them to show her, so that she can see for herself how exciting that day was for all of us.
When we had finished looking through the photos, THREE times, I asked her how it made her feel to see pictures of her birth mother. She said "happy".
I asked her why it made her feel happy and she responded:
"Because I'm so happy she gave me to you".
You are a very special person and Mother Michelle, and I am privileged and blessed to be a part of the wonderful family you and Rhys have created. Thank you.
