Meet Bella

She is almost three, likes to sing, dance, watch cartoons, go to the park, and speak Spanish. She has learned her first joke, "Knock, knock...Whose there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you gonna give me a kiss?" and she gets a kick out of telling it.

To strangers, she is shy, cautious, and quiet. To those who know her best, she talks, talks, talks. She is sweet, smart and gifted. She can remember the tune and words to just about any song after hearing it one time (English or Spanish), which we are sure, is a gift she inherited from her birthfamily. She has an aptitude for the Spanish language, which she probably got from me (her mom) and she is my star student in Spanish class. She is lucky enough to have two mom's...one who gave her the gift of life, her beauty, and inherent talents. And then there is me, her mommy, who gives her my whole heart and soul. I know that she is one of the rarest gifts and I thank God every day for the privilege of being her Mom.
