Rylan's Journey Home

Happy Birthday Rylan, we love you SO much!  I am missing you so incredibly bad at this moment it actually hurts.  I'm thinking of your birth mother too.  The day she brought you into this world and followed through with a very difficult decision.  One I could never even imagine having to consider.  Thank you Vilma for giving this baby life and for loving him enough to make sure that he was provided with everything he needed!  Someday, somehow.....I will tell you this myself.  Rylan will always know where his life began.

Having only spent 4 days of Rylan's first year with him seems unfair.  Even more unfair is that your daddy and brother, along with the rest of your family have not even met you.  Never in a million years did I think this adoption would take this long. 

BUT, I can't allow myself to feel sad or depressed.  I can't feel sorry for myself.  This is a day to be happy!  The day our baby was born!  I am lucky you see!  I have my health.  I have my family.  I have a good job.  I live in a nice house..... AND I have the most amazing kids in the world.  Mostly I thank God that Rylan is with a family who is loving him just as we would.  That comforts me the most. 

We are a special family formed in a very unique and special way.  This entire adoption of Rylan could have ended up very differently with all that we have been through....and I know that someone was watching over us.  I can only hope that the path will continue to be laid out so that Rylan can come home, and come home quickly.

AND YES!!!  7 Days and counting for pre-approval........
