A Letter

Dear Mother China,
Here we are. We have traveled far to bring our daughter back to the place she came from. We are excited and nervous and grateful.

Eight years ago you decided for whatever reason that you could not provide for the child you gave birth to. Eight years ago we knew that your child belonged with us. And we promised to love her and care for her and cherish her. We are grateful more than you ever know for she has brought us countless smiles and a love that completed our family.

Dear Mother China, we ask that you continue to bless us and provide us with the knowledge and understanding that will fill our daughter's heart with a love like no other. And while her roots may be in China, her home is with us and we thank you.
