Dear Santa,
Please bring me pictures of Christopher growing up. There are almost 30 years of photos I would give anything to see. I have pics of him at 3 weeks old, when I was "allowed" one short visit with him, and then I have pics from the last couple of years that we have been reunited. I would love to have a glimpse into the years in between. This is my greatest Christmas wish.
Unless of course, you can put a bug in Christopher's ear about visiting, to finally meet his siblings & nieces and nephews? Oh, how I would love having his family here, being able to see ALL of my children and grandchildren together. What a family dinner and celebration that would be!!
While you are at it, can you put a good word in for me with Christopher's parents? Tell them that I really do not want to (nor is it possible for me to) take their place in his life. Can you let them know that having another person in his life who loves him is a good thing, not a threatening thing? Heck, they might even like me if they could get to know me.
Can you also please spread the word that a child is not a "gift" to be given to someone else to raise. God doesn't make mistakes. God doesn't put a baby in the wrong womb, in order to be given to the "right" parents ~ a "gift from God".
Santa, you are the king of giving gifts, a friend to all children. Maybe you could consider becoming a spokesperson for family preservation and adoptee rights. There are a lot of natural moms and adoptees trying to spread the word about the truth of adoption loss, but our voices are drowned out by the adoptive parents and the adoption industry. You are loved by everyone, maybe they will listen to you.
Merry Christmas Santa!
Susie
I would give my arm to see pictures from the in between years. I wish the same thing for my daughter's parents to get over their fear and or insecuities about me.
ReplyDeleteWhen I found my mom, I had a small photo album already made for her of photos of me over the years and then I left some empty slots and told her those were for photos going forward. I hope that your children get a bug to do the same for you.
