BIG NEWS!!!!


As some of you might know; Dwain and I have started the adoption process for a second child.  Sylvia, our social worker, was here on Wednesday March 11th to update our Home Study.  At the end of the "interview" she informed us that the only baby (we are looking for as young a child as possible) she knew about was going to be born in April.  The Biological Mother was going to relinquish the baby at the hospital.  We told Sylvia that we would be interested and asked her to check it out for us.  She called a few hours later, her first words were "Are you sitting down?", and proceeded to tell us that the baby had been born that morning!  That she had given the baby's Social Worker our Home Study, and that we were first in line to adopt the baby!!!  We're Daddies again!!!  We met her at the hospital this afternoon, she's beautiful, alert, and eating really well!  She has an infection, which will keep her in the hospital for 12 more days to complete a course on antibiotics.  Then, we pick her up from the hospital and bring her home!!!  We are naming her Averi.  No middle name yet.  She was born 3-11-09 at approx. 11:30ish., weighing 6 lbs. 9 oz.  We are super excited!  I'll post more pictures when I get them.  Love to all!!!
