Hi! I’m your Mommy’s cousin Nikki and I can’t wait to meet you! I don’t get to see your Mommy, Daddy, and Cole very often, but they are still an important part of my life!

Mommy, Daddy, and your BIG brother Cole have been waiting very patiently for you! They are very excited and Cole is going to make an awesome older brother!

I’m happy you are part of our family and I hope to see you soon!

Love, Nikki

I have been reading all the notes people have written to you. When my kids were little and growing up, I wrote in a journal for each of them, so I hope all these little comments will be very meaningful to you later in life as you strive to secure your place in the world. You will discover that you are truly blessed to be with your new Mommy, Daddy, and brother Cole.

Just so you know how I fit into all of this–I am your Grammie’s little sister–not really all that little! My daughters Nicole, Adrienne, and I are so excited about meeting you. We hope that you all have a relaxing plane ride back to the United States and to your new home outside Philadelphia. I wish I could be there to see Cole’s expression on his face as he greets his new brother. I know your parents will have many more pictures to how all of us of this wonderful reunion. Bless you as you begin one of life’s newest adventures–you will be an awesome addition to our extended family. I love all of you! My eyes well up when I think just how ecstatic your family must be. Love, Great Aunt Becca–you can leave off the “great” when you begin to call me Aunt Becca =:) It’s just a mouthful!
