Care Package for Maelin!

We are starting to get a care package ready for when we receive our referral for Maelin (a bit early, but we want it ready to send to her as soon as we KNOW WHERE to send it to!!!)

So far we have: a blanket that I made ages ago for her and have washed SEVERAL times,LOL!
a family photo album, with pictures of her Mom and Dad, Nannies and Pappies, Aunts and Uncles, and Cousins,...and of her Poochies!
We are going to add a couple of her toys (not sure which ones yet though)
pajamas and maybe an outfit
and something for her Nannies

If anyone one has any suggestions of anything to send, please let us know! We'd love some ideas!

A Moment In Time
(To my Daughter, Maelin)
On a Monday afternoon, a hot and humid day,
A couple waited anxiously, for the child for which they did pray.

Not sure if or when this moment would ever arrive,
This couples hopes and dreams managed to survive.

On this afternoon, many other parents joined them in happy tears,
Also dreaming of this day for so many years.

Suddenly in the room there appeared two babies so wee,
One taken to a couple~
the other into a room, was that the baby meant for me?

My husband said, “I think that was Maelin”,
Our excitement quickly grew as the reality set in.

Moments later, a woman began approaching us.
Could this be our baby girl, for whom we’ve made such a fuss?

I do not recall this woman’s face, or any details of her,
For I was too focused on who she carried, everything else was a blur.

She placed you in my arms, smiled, then walked away,
My prayers were answered on this very day.

My husband told me later that there were many cries,
Of babies meeting their new parents, with tears in their eyes.

The room was filled with chaos, but this I do not remember,
For all I was able to see and hear was my darling baby girl, so tender.

The most beautiful almond eyes staring back at me,
A sense of love and completeness came over me.

So strong is the love for this child, that it will exist for all of eternity,

This moment in time will be in my heart, forever with me.
