Her olive skin tone
Against my tan skin tone,
Some may think
It's not the way a family should be.
But it is,
It's perfect.
Some will see us
And wonder why we're together
But I know
It doesn't matter what they think.
We will all welcome her
With open arms
Because it was meant to be this way.

Jenn, this is such fantastic news. The only thing that matters is that she loves all of you and you love her. She is a lucky little girl to get a family with two sisters who will adore her. Best of everything to you.

Now is when I wish I could be a premium member so I could edit my poems.

At the last minute we decided not to name her Grace Elizabeth. We named her Anna Courtney. So yeah....
