She's OURS!!!!!

Hey girls!!

After many delays and disappointments we finally got the call we've been dreaming about!!! We have another daughter (I've been dying to use that icon!!!)

The matching meeting was officially rescheduled for Wednesday, but apparently they got what they were waiting for and it was held this afternoon!! We are in complete shock! I had to ask my social worker to repeat it several times!! I just couldn't believe what I was hearing!! Thanks for all of your kind words and support!!!

Mommy to 3!!!!

Valerie
