Almost 38 years ago, my sister had a baby girl whom she put up for adoption. For all these years, I have missed my niece, and prayed for her, and felt like there was a big hole in our family, and I often hoped that I would meet her one day. And, that is what I did on New Year's Day.
So, here we have my mother, my sister, Lisa, with her arms around her granddaughter, Olivia, and my niece, Nikki.
It was a great visit. Everybody got along. Nikki and her daughter fit right in. All in all it was the best possible Christmas present.
And I really am going to write a blog post soon. I'm working on one now.

That's wonderful. So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely for everyone! I'm glad you shared this!
ReplyDeleteI remember those sad days right after Lisa gave up her daughter. I am going to posts a poem, I wrote for all of those who gave up a child for adoption. See oneata2@blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely, Oneata. You know, I don't really remember what else was going on at the time.
