STARTING TO GET IT

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

"Mom?"

"Yes, Becca?"

"Can I go to Russia and visit my first mommy?"

"You mean, your birth mommy?"

"Yes, birth mommy."

"Sure, Becca, when you're older."

"Wish I was big and you were little. And I would come and get you. And the doctor would bring you to me and I would take care of you and be your new family."

"And I would be happy and love you for taking such good care of me."

"Yes, I would be your good mommy."

All of a sudden, Becca is a bundle of curiosity about her past. It's amazing to watch her ask questions and try to put everything together. She's so brave and wonderful.
