Dear Baby

Dear Baby,

A few months ago your father and I started talking about having you join our family. Your father read a book, Shadows of our Forgotten Ancestors and her started thinking about you. I was not an immediate convert.

Your father and I have been married for eleven years and we've built a life that's just the two of us, and three cats, and two dogs. For a long time, I couldn't imagine how you would fit in.

In January, though, we finally paid off our loans and you became more reality than idea. We thought about trying to make you in Portugal on our vacation, but I wasn't ready.

Now, we're both in the same place and we're ready for you to join us on this improbably journey called life.

Love,
Dear Mama
