I am currently trying to write letters to our prospective adoptive child and their birth parent. This is one hard task! I want to make the child feel like the home being offered to them is one filled with love. It's hard to put this in words a young child can understand (without sounding like a crazy lady). How do you explain that you already love this child who you've never met and know nothing about?
And writing to their birth parent....GEEZ! That's a tough one assuming that our future child will be a child in foster care, which means they were removed from their biological family for good reason. All I can do is let the parent know that we will love their child like they are our own. I tried to explain that we will always allow their child to love them too.
Anyway, this has been a hard job, and I think I deserve a bowl of ice cream now as a reward! :)
