Fantastic!!! Please party and rejoice for us all!

My chilren said the only thing they wanted for Christmas was to be adopted. Unfortunately I can't give them that. We have been in appeals over 6 months now and the adoptions worker told us to think June as far as adoption goes. I can't wait for the day.

CONGRATULATIONS! You must be on cloud nine!!

There is something so sweet about each adoption out of foster care. I always have an enormous sense of relief to accompany my joy at the news of each adoption-----a sense of "whew, another one out of the fire!"

You have done a great thing in dealing with the system on behalf of a little girl. And it sounds like you've gotten a WONDERFUL reward, in the form of a forever daughter! Congrats!
