People always think foster care produces bad children. There
are some beautiful children waiting to be loved and cared for. I'm one of the
blessed ones! Brianna A. Horne came into my life August 2004. When I
encountered this little girl I wondered how does she feel, what are her hopes
and dreams. I was so excited about meeting her and my heart was filled when I
finally laid eyes on her.
We
spend a couple of weekends together, then I knew..........I didn't want to wait
another weekend to see her, then I knew we can't
be apart and I sealed the deal on paper. I wanted her to be around and apart of
my life forever. Then October 2004, that little girl became apart of my
household.
Still excited but nervous, I wouldn’t
make a good mom or didn't know what I was about to embark on. On the first day
of her moving in she asked, "can I call you mommy" in my heart I was
like OMG!! I told her yes! Our lives at that point were forever changed.
Our journey hasn't been all peaches and cream but with the
assistance of the village and the guidance and grace of God, we make it.
June 2007, it was OFFICIAL! This little girl became BRIANNA
ANTOINETTE KINDER ..........She was my daughter in my heart back in August
2004. I'm so blessed to have her and our lives are so rich because we have one
another. Brianna, mommy loves you so much and I thank God for you
every day. And I'm especially grateful to your birthmom.
It's
National adoption month, a child can make a world of difference in a person's
life!!
