Dearest Lilly
In a couple of hours John and I will meet you in person for the very first time.
I am incredibly excited!!! Hard to describe – much like bursts of colour exploding beneath the ocean.
There have been photos and many stories and description from your Foster Mum (Tara) and Link worker (Ruth). Throughout this I’ve felt a growing, quiet knowing that I will be your forever mum and with John, your forever family.
I am looking forward to getting to know you enormously!
I can only guess what a huge upheaval it is going to be for you, to move from what you know as your family home with Tara, Oslam and the kids.
I promise to do my best, to be there for you and to help you through any feelings of loss that may arise. As I put on the mantle of motherhood; I wish for you the joy/comfort of a warm, loving family. My greatest desire is to parent in a way that allows you to discover your uniqueness and be (with confidence) whoever it is that Lilly is.
I wish for you to experience the MAGIC! of life and living.
Committed to forever…
Your ‘new’ mummy
