We will never forget the day our adoption agency caseworker came over to do our annual home visit update. She called on her way to apologize for being late, but she had to stop to run an errand. That "errand" was stopping at the birth mothers house to retrieve 2 cards for us. The small card that looks like a bear she gave to Claire, and inside it says "It's a Girl!". The other card (which plays Christmas music when opened) she wrote to us - has changed our lives forever: "...I want ya'll to be the family, I don't think there's anyone better to fit the role of parents but ya'll...". And indeed, it is that goal we strive to accomplish every day.
