Happy B-Bay Little One
May 26, 2006
Today is our little ones birthday! She is turning three today.
We will be celebrating her day tomorrow with a picnic at a local park and a dinner BBQ.
Fun stuff indeed.
So more thoughts of this day are going through my mind. These are MY thoughts, I can only imagine what this day was like three years ago.
This day three years ago a scared mother is giving birth to her child. Not knowing what was going to happen next. Soon she had to make a choice, keep this baby and live in secret, or place this baby in a soon to be crowded market place street in hopes that she will be found by a caring person. Well, she chose the latter. Early in the morning she placed her newborn daughter wrapped in a blanket on the steps of a storefront. Before the store opened for the day a police officer happened by and found the baby. She was taken to the local police station and then on to a local orphanage. One can only hope that this scared young woman would be thinking about this day three years ago wondering what has become of this little bundle wrapped in a blanket.
Even though she will never read this letter I would like to say to her, Thank you for choosing this path for your daughter. Thank you for giving birth to her three years ago, and thank you for be a caring person. Thank you for being a birthmother. As we celebrate the birth of our daughter we also celebrate you, her birthmother on this special day.
Please know that we think about you and hope that you know that your daughter has become a great little toddler, happy, healthy, very smart and cunning little firecracker. As our daughter gets older we hope to share the thoughts that we have about her birthmother. We can only speculate on how she was feeling that day, and how she is feeling on this day every year. She will be a very important person in our family, even though we will never know who she may be.
Happy Birthday Shao bao bea (Little Treasure)!
