Ours

December 21st, 2009 at 2:48pm- this is the day you legally became Charly Reese. Up until this day you have been Baby Girl H****** otherwise known as Charly. The day you were born, 4/27/09, the minute you were born, 6:15 am, you have been ours. You were given to us before you were even born by the kindness and love your birthmother showed both you and us. We were the first ones to hold you and feel you, to kiss you and hug you, to tell you how lucky we were to have you and how much we loved you and would always love you. Going to court to finalize our adoption was a wonderful thing. We walked into the courthouse with our little girl and walked out of the courthouse with "OUR" little girl. This was the day you legally became ours and made us a family, but since the second I saw you, you have been ours. Thank you for being born and for making us a family! Thank you for being Charly Reese Koppen. Thank you for being ours!
