Dear Bio Mom,

Four months ago, for Owl's 2nd birthday, you showered her with clothes, toys, and a cake during your weekly visit, do you remember the hoopla of that visit? Today was visit day again and because Apple is sick she couldn't go, I felt bad because I knew a birthday celebration was in order since tomorrow is her first birthday.

I pulled up as you were walking to the building and you came over to get the girls, I told you that Apple is sick and would be staying with me. You smiled. SMILED! I told you that you could say hi/happy birthday/anything to her before we left and you opened her door and said "Hi, I hope you feel better"; no kiss, no caress, no Happy Birthday. You closed her door and handed me a bag, saying "I got her a Barbie for her birthday, I got one for Owl and each of your girls too." Thanks Bio Mom but no thanks, an age appropriate toy just for Apple would have been a better way to celebrate her birthday.

I have and always will provide Apple with everything she needs, the love that you refuse to show her, comfort from this rough world, material objects, joy, wonderful memories. It saddens me to see how careless you are with her, she is a precious gift to me. Thank you for bringing her into this world so that we can celebrate her, because believe me, we do.

Sincerely,

Me (the woman who WILL adopt these girls)
