Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 We feel so blessed by our daughter Emmalie and feel that she has the sweetest smile that God ever gave a baby. We to focus on what she can do and not what she can't or won't accomplish. Yes, we wish that she had no dissability but we wouldn't trade her for a child that didn't have one ( if you know what I mean) We love and accept her just the way she is. We adopted her and feel that God has blessed us by putting her in not only our lives but our other childrens lives also. They have learned so many Life's lessons by having her in the family! I will say though that some times it is very difficult to get others to understand why we " chose " to live a life with a child like Emmalie. When confronted with that , we often just say " Why wouldn't we want to? " Even family members don't understand it. No we aren't saints by any stretch of the imagination. In fact we think that we are really selfish in that we just love to watch her as she explores her world in awe, when she smiles and laughs the wonderful sound that it is. She trusts us with all of her heart and loves us with no boundaries. So we are really the lucky ones to know such a relationship with a child. Sorry to go on and on....
