Shoal Creek Cottage Giveaway in Progress

There is a great giveaway in progress over at Shoal Creek Cottage! This is the cuttest blog I have ever seen. It really is a cutest Blog with a Cause. Debbie is having a giveaway of the CUTEST SNOMAN you have ever seen! You have got to take a look! So, get a cup of tea, relax and take a stroll through the Cottage! http://shoalcreekcottage.blogspot.com

Our New Family! Girls in matching Pink






Photo on top shows us in just about the middle Dean is holding Taylor and Courtney is standing in front of me as we all answer the questions being asked by the Judge. The lady to the left of us in the pink vest and white shirt is a friend of mine from church her name is Judy Pruitt and they adopted a very cute little girl named Cierana she looks just like the little Dora the Explorer cartoon girl. You can see her just to the right and above Judy's head. The photo on the bottom we sat in the middle next to Judge Fagg for a group photo of all of us. It was a great time. The girls had lots of fun and there was lots of cookies, Chili from Wendy's it was really nice. Dean's family was there including his dad and Step-Mom from hell. Everyone from our Grandparents raising Grandchildren group was there. It was a great day! It was also a little bitter sweet for me its kind of hard having a daughter that gave up her kids, I'm not sure how I'm handling it right now. Were just glad the girls have a safe and happy home and we will deal with the rest of the stuff at a later time.

ADOPTION FINAL, FINALLY!!!!!!





On the right is Judge Russel Fagg with girls at our adoption on November 1st which is also National Adoption Day! On the left is Mary Burst, our case worker from DPHHS. It was a great time. There were 13 couples adopting children the same day. We have waited a long, long time for this day. Now, we are the parents and we don't have to ask permission to take them somewhere. and we don't have to be afraid that DPHHS can take them away or my Wonderful Mother-In-Law can cause anymore trouble! HooooooRAY!!!!!!!!! We made it!!!!! All those classes and meetings and monthly visits from the Case Worker Foster Care Liscensing, and Home reviews ARE OVER!!
