Lynn,

Carmen is absolutely beautiful. I like them all but the one with the roses is my favorite...and Miss Carmen had better get used to roses because I'm sure she will be getting PLENTY as she gets older

You are so lucky!

First day of the adoption circus and just soaking in your excitement. Thanks so much, all. Can't wait to join your ranks!
Anyone know if in Calif. you can file the I 600A before the home study? Know of a great SF Bay area social worker for the home study?

Congratulations again, Carmen's lovely.

Karen K.

So Sweet!

Hi Lynn,

I just logged on after being off the forum for a while and I just saw your 1 year portaits of Carmen. WOW! She really is a darling angel. Those pictures are just too precious. Thanks for sharing!

PS - And yes if it's possible she is even more precious in person!

Carmen is a little doll. I would love to meet you and others from Alabama one day. We live south of Cullman. Looked for you at the Wiggle's concert but so many people there.
