Ukraine Adoption

A special day

Tara is a flower girl on Saturday for her Aunt Karen's wedding. She has been talking about it for a long time (Tara, not Karen. Well, actually, both of them).

Tara is so excited to be wearing a pretty blue dress. This is the first wedding that she has ever been a part of. Tonight, as I painted her nails a bright pink and braided her damp hair to make it wavy tomorrow, I asked her: Do you know what a wedding is?

"Yes, two people are married," she said. Good!
Who is getting married? "Caroline's mom...Aunt Karen."
What does that mean? "Mike is Karen's daddy?" Umm, no, he will be her husband, I told her. "OK."

"But Mom....What will be the party favors?" she asked.

This is a special day, we are happy to have Mike become an official part of our family. Congratulations to Karen and Mike!
