I have an announcement.

May I proudly introduce to you my beautiful baby daughter Althea Nicole, adopted today!!!!
She was born Oct 3, and was 7 lbs, 13 oz.

Here's a pic, with more to come!
Thanks for sharing my joy! This situation was rather unexpected but of course an amazingly wonderful blessing for my family! :-)

PS the bmom named her and I think we are going to keep the name!

I just saw this on your FB page & had to come here to make sure I wasn't seeing things!

Congratulations! She has a great birthday (it's the same as mine).
