(Thank you MM for the pic)
Today is your 13th birthday.
In America, you would be thrilled that you are finally a teenager. You would be thinking of how much older 13 sounds than 12. 12 year olds are children, but at 13 you are a TEENAGER!
Is that how you feel today?
Or is this birthday bitttersweet?
This is your last birthday before you age out of the orphanage. Are you wondering if someone is coming for you? Are you thinking about all the others who have turned 13, then at 14 left, not to be seen again?
Will you get any presents at all?
The only gift I can give you this year is this: WE ARE COMNG FOR YOU.
We will not leave you as an orphan. We will not let you age out and live as an adult at 14. We will come for you and take you into our family to heal, to reclaim your childhood, to love, to protect, to provide for, to comfort, to become our daughter.
We promise.
