The First Day of the Rest of Your Life

Today it seems appropriate to write a letter to our future kidlet(s), so here goes:

Dear Little Quant(s):

There will be many big days in your life coming up within these next several months, but today is one of the biggest because Dad and I finally chose the "helper" that will turn you from a deep longing in our hearts and a dream in our imaginations to a living, breathing, beautiful reality in our arms sometime in 2011.
PICTURE REMOVED FOR CONFIDENTALITY
Why did we select this particular "helper"? Well, for many reasons, but some of the biggest are:

1.  As you can see, we think she's absolutely adorable.

2. We wanted you to have the best chance of a lifetime of good health. Although past performance does not guarantee future results, her family history was stellar. She takes good care of herself and that's important to us.

3. Biologically, you already have 3 half-brothers and / or sisters somewhere, out there. The nurses tell us that she's a good mother to her current children and she wanted to help because she truly wanted to make a difference in a loving couple's lives to help them start a family.

4. She had a happy childhood with many friends and was close with her brothers and sisters. Again, family is important.

While you (and us) will probably never get to meet her, it's hard to come up with the words to thank her for the gift she is about to bestow on all of us.

Welcome to the frist day of the rest of your life!

XOXO,

Mom and Dad
