Sometimes I wonder

Is she ever scared?
Does she remember what the orphanage was like?
Does she ever wonder who her real mother is?
Does she ever think that we might leave her?
Does she ever think that we don't love her?
Does she always know that we will be there for her?
Does she remember her birth mom?
When she throws her fits over food is it because she doesn't know when she will get more?
Does she ever wonder "why do these white people love me so much?"

Sometimes these questions run through my brain.

Does Sonia know that her big sister prayed for her to come?



I love you Sonia Grace, I always will. When you are tired I will hold you. When you are hurt I will kiss your boo-boos. When you are happy I will be happy with you. When you have question I will answer it to the best of my ability. When you want to go shopping I would LOVE to take you shopping. When you want to play baby dolls, I will play with you. Just know that I love you and I will always be there for you. You are the perfect little sister! Your big sissy~Bailey Elizabeth

Beautifully written Bailey. You are truly a special big sister, just as Sonia is a truly special little sister. :)

Precious Bailey. As blessed as you feel to be Sonia's big sister, I know she is equally blessed to have you as her sister. And as time continues to go by and she faces some tough questions with harder answers, she will be so blessed to have you walking that road with her.

I love you Bailey!

Bailey B- You're such an amazing big sister. I believe God especially set Sonia apart in that orphanage because of your continuous prayers. Hold to these promises- you are already an amazing big sister and such a powerful role model for Sonia. I love you so much- This was written beautifully.

You amaze me a little more every day Bailey B.

What a sweet post, Bailey! You are an awesome big sister and I think it's amazing that you've prayed for her since you were 4, even though at the time you didn't know you were praying for her. Very nicely written. =)
