Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I am so happy -I just wanted to share our good news!!!!

This Friday, August 22, our family will be appear before a juvenile court judge to finalize the adoption of our foster daughter. She has been with our family since February of 2007 and is now 3 years old. We worked very hard with her birth parents for their reunification but it was not successful.

If you remember, please keep her, us and her birth parents in your prayers.

Thank you so much everyone for your support. The adoption hearing went well and we had a small family celebration afterward.

Now that she is legally ours we can have her baptized.
