beautiful...

One of my friends on my WC DTC group wrote this to her daughter's birth mother in China. I thought it was so beautiful I wanted to share it with you!

Kissing the Moon

Ever so quietly she tip-toes to the gate, she's dressed you in the
finest outfit. She places you where she knows that you will be
found soon. The tears flow freely down her red cheeks. She kisses
you softly on the forehead and wishes the best for the baby she can
not keep.

She waits, the sun is coming up. There is a man on his way to
work. He sees the tiny bundle at the gate. He motions to the
workers inside to come and open up. They take you inside. She
hurries away, she knows that you are now going to be taken care of.

Somewhere she knows what your real birth date is.
Somewhere she knows what your real name is.
Somewhere she knows how much she loved you and wanted the best for
you.
Somewhere she weeps knowing she missed your first tooth and your
fist steps.
Somewhere she looks at the moon hoping that you will find your way
to a family that will love you as much as she does.

Many miles away that family has made room in their hearts for the
little girl that has touched them in so many ways.
Many miles away, that family is making room in their home.
Many miles away, they talk about clothes, and new names for the
little one they have only seen pictures of. Soon they will travel
across a big ocean. They know this is the daughter that was meant
for them.

If there were some way to let her know how much that family will
love and cherish her beautiful baby girl. They will never harm her,
they will support her and take care of her. She will be loved as
though she is one of their own.

When we look at the moon, we hope and pray that she is seeing that
same moon and will know in her heart that her baby is safe.
We love you sweet one. We love the one that did the hardest thing
she's ever had to do. She shall live forever in our hearts as the
one that brought us together.
