7 is a magic number



Miss M turned 7 the other day - her and Elvis share the same birthday! I can't believe that she is already 7. We had a fun but rather low key day, presents in the morning and cake in the evening. But, before bed Miss M commented that it was "Better than she had even hoped."

Each year on this day, I pray and wonder about a birth mother that is half a world away. I'm grateful that she decided to carry our daughter full term and then left her safely in a place where she would be found. Miss M was left hours after her birth. I pray that she knows Miss M is safe and happy. I wonder if she thinks about her? If she could even imagine how beautiful, smart and kind Miss M has become. How quick witted she is, and how her laugh is infectious to those around her. For a seven year old she has quite a sense of humor and uses it to impress and charm those around her. We are very blessed to have this child in our home. Happy Birthday Miss M!
