officially ours.



after two and a half long years, my niece is legally part of our family.  the signature of a judge friday afternoon squelched my underlying fears of someday letting her go.  the enormity of the situation had no effect on her but we all hugged her a little tighter and celebrated with overwhelmed hearts.

a miracle girl...i am so proud of how far she has come.  her zest for life and exuberant joy have taught me so much.  


blessed beyond words.

She is radiant, beautiful, mesmerizing, inspiring... and I don't even know her. I'm happy for you and your family.
