A Special Day

When I was a baby, I was in an orphanage. The woman who adopted me always dreamed of having a daughter, but could not. This woman’s name was Barbara June Ross. Barbara is now my mom!

When my new mom and I came back to Canada from China, there were so many people waiting for us at the airport! Everyone was holding presents for me! All these people were now my new friends and family. When I got to my new home, I finally saw my new room. After a nice sleep, my mom took me to the park the next day. Then we went to a friend’s house where I met Birgitta, Frida and Linnea. Linnea and I met by bumping into each other. Today I am 10 years old, I live with my wonderful mommy and Linnea is STILL my friendi

I am so thankful to have a mom and caring friends like Linnea. I am thankful because I was the one baby to get picked out of so many others! I love that I have a family and that I have so many friends. The best part about being adopted is being loved by everyone. Now I have a wonderful future to look forward to!
