My Jaden, how can it be that you are three years old today? How can it be that we received your referral picture 2 years ago? Yet...haven't you been with us your entire life?
You are such an amazing little guy. So sweet. So cute. And so smart. I can hardly believe that the orphanage director told me that you were so tiny when they found you that you would always be behind. Well, you've showed her, buddy! You're smart as a whip, and I dare say ahead of the game.
Your hugs are priceless. The way you run up to the ones you love puts smiles on everyone in the room.
You're almost always happy. You add so much joy to our family.
We love you, Jaden, with all our hearts. We pray that as you grow, your happiness stays with you, and you find true joy in Jesus Christ.

I can't believe how big he has gotten - and really, did so much time pass already since you got the referral? I remember sitting at Stacy's house for a Cursillo meeting and you sharing the referral with us.
Happy birthday Jaden - you are loved!
