WE ARE FAMILY!

   It's legal!  She's really our DAUGHTER!  FOREVER!

                                 After anxiously waiting, Guinea Pigs in hand (yes, Guinea Pigs),
 

and visiting with two very special social workers who were there for her every step of the LONG way home,


                 We finally had our turn in front of the judge, Guinea pigs in tow.  Doug and I raised our right hands and said, "WE DO" to all he asked!



    Then Alanna asked the judge if he would sign a decree for her to officially adopt her Guinea pigs.






   So the judge asked Alanna to raise her right hand and promise to be responsible for the love, care, and education of her Guinea pigs.  She said, "I DO", and the judge signed.
   


                                    Now we are legally a family, Guinea Pigs and all!
                            


         With a very beautiful little girl who will celebrate her 11th birthday, next Wednesday, finally HOME with her FOREVER FAMILY!


      So what do you do after you finalize an adoption?  Well, you go to your dance class (where the  teacher already knows because Stephanie has put it on Facebook), then you come home and decorate a gingerbread house,



                    and have tacos for dinner with banana splits for dessert!




                                 WELCOME HOME FOREVER, ALANNA BANANA!

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
