MISSION POSSIBLE: ARTEM'S BIRTHDAY!

June 4th 2015

It is my handsome prince's birthday!
Happy Happy birthday to you

My baby boy!

My little man who is growing up.

He is losing his baby face

and has grown about 2 inches.

His smile is contagious

and his hugs I miss.
I long for the day that I can
swoop him up in my arms again!

I remember the first time I met him.

It feels like yesterday.

I remember his smile

and his high pitch laughter.

I remember how inquisitive he was.

I remember how much

he liked the candy I gave him.

I remember how he looked at me
with those beautiful brown eyes.
I remember the moments when those eyes met mine.
I remember how it felt to cradle him in my arms.
I will always be thankful for the time with him.

I wonder what it would be like

to tuck him in at night!
I wonder if he remembers us.
I wonder if he smiles when he does.

I wonder does he still remember us
and is his waiting for a family

a burden to his soul.

I wonder how things might have been

so very different if he was home with us now!
I wonder if he likes the song Happy Birthday.
I wonder if he claps to the beat .

I pray his heart is full

and his vision is clear.
I pray that his biological family
is well and happy.
I thank them for allowing us
to get to know him.
I thank all those wonderful people
who care for him on a daily basis.
I know that some of them love him.
I know that I am forever changed
due to this little one.
I want him to be loved.
I want him to know the love
and support of a family.
I want him to have a family
even if it is not with us.
I pray that someone over in his
home country
finds him and
takes him home!
Please someone love him and
care for him take him home.
That is my plea!
Take a moment to fall in love with
this nine year old prince.
That would be the most important birthday gift ever.
Could you help by granting him a home?
