Or so we think!! We named Soleils "official" day of birth April 23rd because when we began to foster her on Sept. 23, 2005 she was believed to be about 5 months old. As we will never really know the story of her first 5 months, we have had endless stories to share about the last 2.5 years of knowing & loving her. When she looks at us, we know that she knows we are her mom & dad and we also know that who ever her "biological" parents were they must have had the following qualities: determination, sensitivity, protectiveness, warmth, loving, snugglers, persistence, endurance, agility, playfulness, affection for squirrels, birds, flying bugs & wood, intelligence, friendly to most beings unless carrying a loud , unenvironmentally friendly piece of yard machinery & most special quality... the ability to heal both self & others.
SO the fact that we didn't know her from the very start doesn't matter one bit as we have reaped the benefit of knowing so much more about her and receiving the inspiration she brings us every day even when things feel really challenging or impossible. Soleil reminds us that love has very little to do with biology.
