To Galina, From Jonathan

Dear Galina,

I know that I only been with you for one year but I still love you so much.  I also know that your my sister and I love that.  The number one favorit thing about you is that you don't bug as much and the second thing is that your sometimes willy nice and I like that.  But the frist thing I hate about you is nothing and that is true willy.  You are my second favorit sister but that is better then last.  But just rerember that I will always love you.

Love,
Jonathan


This letter was written to Galina for her one year anniversary with us.  It is written exactly how Jonathan wrote it.  Isn't it sweet?  This is just one example of why John and I enjoy parenting so much. :)

I have read for years and don't comment - but this time I couldn't resist! I just had a legitimate belly laugh over here. How cute! How comforting to know that second place is better than last! It willy is :)

Hi! I just love how chldren can bond when placed in the home that is so right for them. I have seen Galina grow so much in your home. Without the first family not bringing her out of east europe you would never have a great daughter and Jonathan a kind and loving sister.May God continue to bless both families. Pat

Can't help but wonder - who is "first favorite"?

Did you ask them all to welcome her, or was it his idea?
