Everyone gets a birthday. One of the frustrating parts in dealing with the Department of Human Service while Frankie was in foster care was the almost four years it took to complete Frankie's adoption. During that time Frankie celebrated four birthdays,. . . on the wrong day! You see DHS had given us Frankie's birthday, a date supplied by a family member at her intake into the foster care system, the same date other foster care parents had celebrated. It was only at her adoption when her birth records were re-submitted we found her correct birthday.
With all of that said, as a mom, I wanted to make up for the unfairness of Frankie's childhood. Upon the anniversary of Frankie's adoption we celebrate "Francis Marie Day!" It is Frankie's special day, it is the date she became our baby! This means Frankie gets a birthday AND her Francis Marie Day each year! This year marked eighteen years since her adoption in 1994 when she was nine.
Love my baby girl!
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep
oneself from being polluted by the world.
to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep
oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27
