~ Introducing Olivia Grace ~

Olivia_Sharpened[1]
I love you so much my sweet girl.

Your care package and pictures of your

new family are on the way.

I pray for strength, health and happiness

until I can finally hold you in my arms.

I have waited 5 years for you.

I am so sorry you have had to wait so long for me.

Our love will be strong and our family will be secure.

You will never have to worry again.

Hold on a bit longer my precious girl....

for I am coming to get you and bring you home.
