Oh, my sweet Mercy!! As I sit here on Friday night getting ready to wrap up and head to bed, I just looked at our Ethiopian clock. It is now March 20th, darling. You are a tiny little thing and don't really know it yet, but today is your birthday!!! Happy Birthday!!!! We wanted so badly to be with you on your first birthday, but instead we will be coming for you! This is the last birthday you will ever wake up alone. You don't know this now, but your mommy and daddy will make the biggest fuss over you and your birthday.
Your birthdate is very special. Today is the first day of spring. Everything comes to life after the long cold winter. What a perfect day as you are about to begin your new life with your forever family! We cannot wait to see how much you will grow and change in front of our very eyes.
We love you more than you can possibly know! I am so happy that the wait is almost over. And I promise that your daddy will snatch you up out of your crib!!!
Until the day we hold you in our arms,
Mommy

Happy Birthday Mercy! You have no idea how blessed you are. But one day, you will know and you will understand. Until that day, just know God has a special plan and purpose for you and your life. He's been planning it for a very long time. Know God has put you in the arms of two people who love you very much... and they are surrounded by people who love them and love you too. I can't wait to meet you. I can't wait to celebrate your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. birthdays with you. Each one will be special, but none as special as the gift of you!
