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................

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

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
