Adoption is a Promise

Dear Zachary,

Adoption is a promise.

To have and to hold from this day forward...
I will always be on your team, in your corner, cheering you on. Today I make a promise that I will be the best parent I know how to be for you.

For better or for worse....
In rejection, in pain, in sleepless nights, and fun cartoon mornings. In victories won, and battles lost, I will always be your Daddy.

For richer or poorer... 
If I lose my job, or become a millionaire, I will always take care of you.

In sickness and in health... 
With tummy aches, and scraped up knees, to everything in between, and even in the thick of stomach flu or something even worse, nothing will make me walk away.

To love and cherish....
My heart is on the line. I promise to be present both physically and emotionally to you and to give you just as many hugs and kisses as you need, plus a few extra.

Till death do us part... 
This is for life. Yours and mine. Whichever, ends first, I am in it for the long haul. And even after you leave the nest, you'll always have a place to call home.

I love you, my dear sweet boy.

Love,
Dad
