Help
O O O O O I am sooooooooo excited. I am just beside myself. In a little more than 4 hours I will see my daughter for the first time. Eeeeeeeeee I am jumping with joy. Well, not with the Scrap Girl "Joy", but WITH joy. LOL Today is going to be the best day of my life. My life long dream is coming true today. I wish I was able to visit her more than an hour today. Thats ok, because tomorrow is 2 hours and so on. Faith's case worker has already volunteered to be a photographer for us on our first visit. LOL I had that arranged first thing when I found out about our visit.
Life as I have known it all my life is all about to change, and I cant wait. Bring it on! I'm ready!
Today Is The Big Day! Meeting Faith.......Heeee Haaaaaa!!!! (Pics Posted)

I think it's perfect that it's raining. The rays of sunshine outside would have interferred with the ray of sunshine inside!

Oh, Tracey, I am just overwhelmed with emotion for you and your husband. Your post brought tears to my eays and I know you are overjoyed and on cloud nine right now.
What a blessed little girl to get to live with you and your hubby and be loved by such wonderful people. She has no idea how blessed, but one day she will be able to thank you for your love and acceptance of her.
Let us know how everything went as soon as you get a chance. It is great to share a small part of your joy and happiness.

The meeting went wonderful as you can see from the photos. Yippie! The magnet dolls were an absolute hit! Thank you Gina for your advise. I think you were the one that recommended those. The meeting was so much better than I had thought. She knew exactly who we were because of the scrapbook I made her. She was given the scrapbook the day we said yes to wanting to bring her home. When we got there she got her photo album out and showed us our pictures and said "that is you, Scott" (she says his name "Tot" like tater tot, LOL) and then she pointed to my picture and said "That is you Tracey". It was adorable. We played with the magnet dolls, a cash register she had, and played with a small lite brite on Scotts lap as you can see in the photo as well. I can not wait until tomorrow. We get to spend 2 hours with her.
