Gotcha Day 1st Anniversary

The Day We Took You Home
Through months and months of waiting
Your father and I just knew
That our choice would not be simple
For us to choose our daughter, the baby that was you.
When we saw your photo
It was immediately clear
That baby was our daughter
The one that we’d hold dear
More months and months we waited
Until we did arrive
In the land that was your country then
Where we knew that you had thrived.
We took you in our arms
And gazed into your eyes
What could you have been thinking
As we marveled at your size?
We packed your things and said goodbye
To the family you had known
As the people who had cared for you
With whom ‘til then you’d grown
We boarded that great big jet
And headed to the land
Where you’d meet all your forever family
Just as we had planned.
Years from not you’ll ask us
To tell you about that day
When you became our daughter in a very special way
And what we plan to tell you
From our hearts will come
That from all the babies in the world
We just knew you were the one.
