GOT THE CALL!!

We got a call on Thursday night at 10:00pm that our agency just got a file locked for us. We have had 72 hours to review the file and speak with medical professionals. We are sending in our Letter of Intent today! We can't post her picture or any identifying information until placement of the child has officially been approved by the CCAA. Everyone please send us your good thoughts and prayers. We are so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
