An open letter from your dad

Hi Sweetie,

I know we’ve never met yet, but I’m your dad.  That’s kinda weird, I know, but it’s still the truth.  You don’t know me, you’ve never seen me, you may have stopped believing that I exist, but I love you and I am your dad.  It’s strange to love someone that you have never seen, but that has been my experience on this journey to find you.  I’ve never held your hand, never kissed your cheek, never heard your laugh, or seen your smile, but I’m your dad and I love you!  

I can’t wait to bring you home!  We’ve got an awesome home ready just for you!  It’s filled with fun and silliness, hugs and kisses, soft beds, tons of toys, and all the food you can eat.  Anything you need, I will get you.  I will help you heal.  I will help you discover how amazing life can be.  I will see the awesomeness inside of you and help you see it too!  I will be be your dad!

We have awesome plans for when you get here!  I will teach you to swim in our pool.  Your brother and sister will teach you to do flips on the trampoline.  Did I mention we have a family prepared for you?  You will never be alone again!  We are going to take trips and have awesome vacations.  I will do my best to allow you to experience everything that is good in life. I will be your dad!

So sometime soon, when the trivial things that are keeping us apart are swept aside, I’m coming to get you and we will never be apart again.  Until that happens, know that my heart is with you.  Don’t be scared.  Don’t worry about anything.  I will be there soon.  I’m your daddy and I love you and nothing will keep me from you!  I can’t wait! 

All my love,

Dad
