THE CALL!!!

We are over the Moon!

We received the call from CCAI on July 29, 2005 at 12:30PM. We were driving when the cell phone rang. We immediately pulled over and answered, just knowing this was the call. It was Becky from CCAI with the most wondrous news ever, "You have a daughter". I cried and cried with joy. David and Bryan were more calm.

You dream of this moment in time the second you decide to have children. Now our dreams have become reality. We want to thank everyone who helped us to become a family. Thank you everyone at CCAI, Sharon Bailey, the CCAA, and most especially thank you to the birth parents who loved our little girl enough to ensure she have a home with a mom, dad & big brother who will love her for the rest of her life. Thank you, Thank you!!!

Please meet the newest Family member: Karen

God has had his hand in putting us together. Karen was born on Susie's birthday the Aunt she's named after.
