Update & announcement!

Gosh it feels like coming home to see some of the same names still here! Here's a picture of Summer who is now 8 (Gotcha 2006) We have crammed a lot of love & fun into her short life with us. Unfortunately her sister is still caught up in the web of the Amrex mess and we wont give up on her but we decided to begin a new adoption as well.

nice to hear

HI Rainy,

It is nice to hear from you. This board is pretty quiet nowadays. I am glad all is going well. I hope the Amrex situation works itself out soon. Congratulations on undertaking a new adoption! Keep us posted.

Congrats on beginning a new adoption!! We've pretty much given up on that. Prayers for the Amrex situation to resolve itself as well.

Hi Rain! Good to hear from you and Summer is beautiful! Congrats on the new adoption. I hope things move smoothly for you!

I always think of you this time of year when we're getting our Christmas cards out. The one you helped me with all those years ago is still my absolute favorite!

All the best,
Christina

Hi!

Funny I just decided to pop on here after a long long time and saw your post! CONGRATS RAINY!! Summer is amazing, and I am thrilled that you are starting another adoption!! I wish we could go back for another, dh would love to, but with the costs and the idea of leaving my 2 behind to travel, I just can't imagine. If we win the lottery though, the paperwork will go in that day
Sooo awesome to see so many people that played such an important part in our journey to Hannah...just like coming home!
Oh yes,and we now have a 2 yr old son Luke, adopted at birth from Vegas!

Rainy, great photo as always!
It's been quiet here. I am here rarely myself, and glad to see your post. Good luck with another adoption process! I still have great hopes for Summer's sister to come home soon. Let your family here know!

Amysue, congrats on adopting your son Luke!!!!!
