One Year Ago Today.............


Our lives were changed! On January 10, 2008 we got the phone call that we were chosen to become Shorty girl's parents. I was at home, watching One Life to Live while the boy was napping, and the call came in! I immediately called richard and he came right home. we got such limited information about her - 23 months old, hispanic, living with a foster family who wanted to adopt her but didn't. that's about it! it wasn't until the next day that i got to talk to margaret (her foster mother) and see pictures of her. One year ago today......

*the boy became a big brother!

*i became the mother of my daughter.

*richard realized that he was going to have a daughter to walk down the aisle.

it was a great day.
