Today is your birthday


My Dearest Tanner,

Today is your fifth birthday. It is a bittersweet day for me. I had hoped to have you here at home by now, but here we are... you there, me here. My arms ache for you. I wanted to celebrate your fifth birthday at home with our family... instead I sit here without you, sad because I know there will be no celebration for you, sad because the chances have now increased that you will not be at your baby house when we come to get you. Words cannot express the feelings I have right now...I feel that I have let you down by not getting to you in time and I want you to know that am so sorry. Daddy and I are trying really hard to get to you and we will be there as soon as we can! We love you with everything in our hearts Tanner.

All my love,
Mommy

  1. Tami,
    my heart breaks for you and Tanner, I wish I could hit to lottery cause the first thing I would do would be give you the money needed to bring this little angel home! Till then I will continue to ask people to donate and keep prayers going, God is Good and does hear our prayers. I am sending you extra hugs today because you need then! much love,
    Elaine

  2. Oh Tami, I’m crying reading your post. The cost to Tanner is too great no child should ever have to see the insides of an institution. Sending lots of prayers and hugs to you both today.

    Have you been over on Downsyn forum? To introduce your family? They have a thread just for parents adopting children. Would be great to see you other there.
