Dear Adam and Aggie,
FAMILY DAY. I doubt you understand the magnitude of this day at this time; however as time passes you will grow to learn how significant it really is. You will marvel at how it all came together and you will feel the warmth it brings your heart.
It’s bigger than any Hallmark holiday or snow day from school. It’s surpasses a trip to Monkey Joe’s or even Disney World. It’s larger than the largest ice cream and brownie sundae with hot fudge sauce and sprinkles, combined!
Family Day is a gift from God! Do you realize He orchestrated it all? From all different pathways, He brought the 4 of us together at the exact moment the judge said “Congratulations!”. (well, it was Magda our translator who actually said it…te, he, he!☺).
Throughout our journey, life had to happen “just right” for it all to come together so magically. We had to have a lot of faith and trust to keep going even though it felt really hard at times. We had to believe in something much larger than ourselves!
We will cherish this day every year with you, and every year we will share our story of how this day came to be. Through laughter and joy, we will celebrate the gift of family, count all our blessings, and thank those who have loved and supported us. But Mostly,….. we will pray. We will pray the gift of family is bestowed unto every little boy and every little girl around the world……and then we will hug! ☺
Happy Family Day!
Love always, Tata and Mommy

So many milestones have been reached and more to come. I feel like there are so many more anniversaries in adoption. Congratulations on your 1st Family Day anniversary!!!
Absolutely beautiful!
How sweet! What a precious letter! Happy Family Day to you! It really doesn't seem like a year has gone by.
Also, in response to your comment, I will keep you up dated on BJ's speech and what we find out. It sounds like they have similar speech issues. We had to buy BJ the set of horns about a year ago because he needed to develop those muscles as well. We were also given a set of straws to help work on the "sucking" muscles! BJ got a lot of milk shakes that month! :) Within about a month, he was sucking and blowing everything, so that therapy kind of went out the door and his speech still didn't improve. But at least now he can blow ALL the noise makers! Yea! :}
We just aren't sure if BJ's speech problems are developmental (given his late start) or if it is truly an issue with Apraxia. It sounds like that might be were you're at as well. Maybe between the two of us, we can figure these boys out! :)
What a beautiful letter. Congratulations on your first Family Day Anniversary. What a special day!
You always know how to bring tears to my eyes! What a beautiful letter to your beautiful children!
Yes, what a beautiful tribute to your beautiful kiddos. Congratulations!
