Finalization Scheduled!!!!!

I just received a call from my caseworker!

We are set to finalize B's adoption Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 10AM!!!!!!!



I am beside myself because the date couldn't be more perfect... it's 2 days before my sister's wedding, so I will already be up north!!!

Thanks guys for all of your support and prayers through the tough times!!!



I know it ain't over till it's over... but it's almost over!!!!
