When Ella was born, 7/27/10 there was one song on the radio that became my Ella song. I listened to it and just thought that some of the lyrics are things I would say to her someday. I know the song is meant differently, but they work for my beautiful daughter.
The song is "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars. I just love it and it makes me happy every time I hear it.

Legacy of an Adopted Child
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other;
One you do not remember,
The other you call "Mother."
Two different lives
Shaped to make you one;
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.
The first one gave you life,
And the second taught you to live it;
The first gave you a need for love,
The second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality,
The other gave you a name;
One gave you talent,
The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears;
One saw your first sweet smile,
The other dried your tears.
One sought for you a home
That she could not provide;
The other prayed for a child
And her hope was not denied.
And now you ask me
Through your tears ...
The age old question,
Unanswered through the years.
Heredity or environment ...
Which are you a product of?
Neither ... my darling ... neither,
Just two different kinds of love!
