Dearest An,
Today is your birthday! You don't know it yet but you are being adopted into a family that already loves you very much! I am so happy for you and for us that I get tears in my eyes just thinking about you! I can hardly wait to hold you and tell you in person that I love you. Your daddy's family and your mommie's family are eagerly waiting your arrival. I know Chloe and Michael are ready to be your sister and brother. We have waited for you for a long time. You will be brought up in a home that loves Jesus and will teach you about Him. I and others have been praying for you for a long time. We have prayed that you would be in good health and that God would watch over you while you are in China, on your flight [home] and all of your life. So Happy Birthday, An. Welcome to our family. We love you very much. Grams
