Birth Day

As I type, some friends of ours are on a plane racing to a hospital in Indiana where their baby is being born. This has been a long road for them. I always reminded them that they weren’t just waiting for “a” baby, they were waiting for THEIR baby. It’s not something that can be rushed, just like finding the right partner in life can’t be rushed – it has to happen according to a divine plan. Of course this is only something you can understand in hindsight. Other things they will only understand in hindsight are how they will look back on this day, and on the next few weeks in Indiana with a reverence they have never felt before. They will look back and realize that as exciting as this day feels, it is really like a first date with the person who they will later learn is the love of their life. It’s just the first day of their happily ever after. The butterflies and excitement of dreams fulfilled that this day holds will never be forgotten, but from here on out, each day will just keep getting better and better. And while they have always said that they want a match just like we have with Meredith, I know they don’t even realize how much they will love the birthmother of their baby. That she will always be the angel sent from heaven just to deliver their child into their arms. That their feelings on ‘love’ and ‘family’ are about to blow wide open. Every parent must feel the wealth of joy and emotions on the birth day of their child – but adoptive parents have another layer of completely overwhelming love and gratitude for all that had to happen in order to arrive at this moment. And with all the conflicting emotions that birthmothers must feel on birth day, my prayer is that they can know with certainty that they have truly been an instrument of God. There is no other explanation.

There is no way that Ariel and Joey can know all of these things today. But I do. Which is why I’m wearing a skirt with bright flowers, and shoes with polkadots and stripes. It’s why I can’t shake the feeling that today is a holiday, and why I’m constantly finding myself on the verge of happy tears. It’s why I made sure all the teachers at Daycare had their favorite Starbucks treat, and why I brought Brendan’s Birth Story book in for ‘show and tell’ at school today. I can’t wipe the smile off my face, or take the spring out of my step. I can’t stop re-living each moment of our Birth Day, but this time with the benefit of hindsight, which makes it even more full and beautiful.
