Hopes and Dreams

All parents have hopes and dreams for their children, including adoptive and birth parents. Largely, our hopes and dreams for Abby are the same as Cheyenne has for her. We all want her to be happy, to be confident, to feel encompassed in love, to love others, to achieve her potential, to be a mother and wife, to have siblings, to enjoy her life, to learn all she can, to overcome her fears and short-coming and insecurities, to serve others, to be generous, to see obstacles as opportunities for growth, etc.
Additionally, because of our love for her we all have hopes that we will be the best parents in the world for her, good examples, good teachers, good friends, good providers, good nurturers, etc. We all love her as parents love their children, Abby just gets loved by more parents than the average person smile emoticon. Adoption = more love!
My top two songs for today are: "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkMdY8xmy9I) and "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV-Z1YwaOiw).
