that i became a mommy
she didn't announce herself with two pink lines on a little stick near the bathroom sink
i never felt her kick my ribs
or see her first smile
i was a new mommy with a baby half a world away
with empty arms
and it hurt
but one year ago today
she became my daughter
she made this family of four
become a family of five
Ethiopian law said it was so
and how sweet it was

Exactly. Well said. How did I miss these two posts? I swear I check every day...or at least almost every day. I love those pictures of Ayanna!
