We are currently in MN with my Dad’s family (all 50 plus of them!) for a family reunion.
Our social worker left a message on my phone yesterday but I didn’t turn it on until this morning. I’ve never been happier to hear her say, “Melodie, I have some good news for you.”
Yes, we got pictures of our 2 month old baby girl. She is TINY.
We are praying that we can get a court date (and PASS) before August 7. Please pray with us. I cannot post any pictures of her before we pass!
More later. I wanted to share our wonderful news and rejoice!

I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR REFERRAL MIRACLE TODAY!! We are sooooo happy for your family:))
