My Dearest Daughter,

On March 26th, 2015, you were adopted. It was a day filled with mixed emotions. We waited more than two years to officially call you our forever daughter. In my mind you always were my forever. God picked you for us. Even though you didn't come from my belly you looked just like me. The dimple on the left side of your cheek and your beautiful blue eyes oddly looked just like mine. You are the little girl that made me a mommy. We prayed for you even before you were born in fact, many people did. People loved you while you were growing in your mother's womb. The Lord filled my heart with love for you before you were even born. I remember standing in your room praying for the child that would sleep in the crib. Praying that God would use us to make much of Him. It' is only because of His faithfulness we are called your mother and father. His love for you and your life is beyond anything you could ever imagine my sweet little girl.

We stood in front of a judge to declare we would love and protect you forever. That we would call you our own as if you came from my very own body. You were adopted into our family and now you have our name forever.

But there is a greater family my little girl. The Lord Jesus wants to adopt you into His family. He died on a cross to save you from your sins. His love is greater than anything we will ever be able to give you. We will fail you as parents but there is a daddy that never will. His name is Jesus! Oh how I long for you to be adopted into His family one day. You will never be the same once you meet this daddy. He has known of you and your amazing life since before time even began. He created you for His glory.

My deepest longing and prayer for you is that you meet this Jesus, sweet child of mine. That you love and serve Him with all your heart. Your life is not an accident...you were created with a purpose.

I love you so much Micah-Grace. I am honored to be called your mother.
