Dedication

This book is lovingly dedicated to my youngest grandchild, Mary. Although you were not born into this family, we have loved you since the first day you came into our lives. You snuggled your way into our hearts and minds.

Reflections on a Baby

A baby is such a wonderful gift from God. It is a promise that the world will go on. It makes everyone feel hope that the future will bring joy and love and laughter.

Family and Love

A family is brought together by love and sharing. We are all so glad that you will be a part of our future together.

Message to Adopted Ones

To you and all the other adopted ones who have brightened the lives of so many people, may you someday be able to share in the life of someone special who will turn out to be just like you!

Closing

With all my love, Grandma!
