I have been mulling over things in my mind (always a danger that).P is just so much part of our lives now and is our child that I almost feel a little bit silly not being so open with all of my friends about her origins.
We are off to a gathering of friends tomorrow and as baby P grows it is more obvious that her beautiful eyes are nothing like her parents. I just feel no shame in saying that she was an egg donation child, and while initially I was going to wait until she knew I feel that everyone should know, that it is actually a real gift and we should be more open about it. The longer it goes on the more I feel I should be shouting from the roof tops!
She is gorgeous of course she is, she is a very special baby, and I feel that all those close to us should know how truly special she is. I have to say I don't hardly cast the genetics a thought as much as when she was first born, I think it was at the fore front almost everyday, but now she is just our baby P, and I think those around me know her as our baby P too, she is our baby.
