We Have Shanna!!!!

and she is as sweet and wonderful as I imagined!!! 

I don't have time to do details now, so here are the photos and a video. More to follow. Lots of paperwork, bonding time and now everyone is starving so we have to go eat.

 Mom, Dad, Cindy, Tom, etc: Look for me on Skype around 6:30-8:30am, your time.
















She was roasting in that sweater! It's 78 degrees outside!

Crying happy tears that Shanna FINALLY has the forever family she so deserves. Thinking of you all today and hoping the transition continues to go smoothly. Blessings to you all!

Awwwww, Linda...crying tears of JOY here in TX!

I wish I had adequate words to describe how happy I am for your family of SIX! What a forever blessing you and Shanna are for one another! Shanna's joyful spirit just shines through!

Linda, seeing you in the very registry center where we met Ruby (5 months ago to the day that we finalized her adoption there) brings back so many emotions...

Your hearts are so very full, it's plain to see...oh my to see you in each others arms!...the smiles!...the LOVE!!!...(((Big Big Hugs))) and continued prayers, dear friend.

Hooray for Shanna and her lucky new family! So many people have been praying for a family for Shanna for a long time, and our prayers have been answered! Thanks for sharing these precious pictures. I'm hoping and praying for a smooth transition for everyone.
