ALANNA

     We met our girl today!  We found out that we have been mispronouncing her name.  It rhymes with banana. She is beautiful, friendly, sweet, and kind.  She is understandably a little guarded about these people who clam to be her, "forever family", but she seemed to warm up fairly quickly. 
      We now have hundred of pages of, "disclosure" to go through before the social worker, Alanna, and the foster parents come to visit us next Wednesday.  Just what we've read so far is unbelievably heartbreaking. 

      Here's Alanna Banana................
