Adopted Girl Cries When She Sees Her First Birthday Cake & Gets an Unexpected Visitor the Next Day – Story of the Day
A little girl is adopted by a loving couple and gets her first birthday cake ever. The next day, she receives an unexpected windfall.
Melanie was six years old, and she wanted a family. She had been in foster care since she was two — too young to even remember her mother and father.
She often asked herself: “Who were they? Did they love me?” Then she’d cry and whisper: “Why didn’t they want me?” But one day, something wonderful happened, something Melanie had been praying for.
A social worker came to visit Melanie and with her came a young couple. The man winked at Melanie and grinned, the woman smiled. She had the sweetest, kindest eyes Melanie had ever seen.
“This is Gordon and Helen,” the social worker explained. “And they want to adopt you.”
“They do?” gasped Melanie, then she turned to the couple and asked suspiciously, “Why do you want to do that?”
Miracles happen when you least expect them.
The man, Gordon, looked shocked by Melanie’s question, but Helen knelt down so she could look Melanie in the eyes and said, “We want to adopt you because we want the nicest, funniest, prettiest girl in New York City to be our daughter.”
Melanie smiled a big, sunny, happy smile and threw her arms around Helen. She had found a family who wanted her, and was willing to love her for herself!
Melanie went to live with Gordon and Helen and discovered that having parents was both wonderful and terrible. It was wonderful because you had two people giving you all their love and attention all the time.
