We Have a Match!!




Although we've suspected for some time that one of our girls was matched, it wasn't until this morning that we received the official notice! Jenna is now matched with a forever family!! We couldn't be more pleased and happy for her! We do not yet know how long it will be before she is united with them. You know how these things go. In the meantime, we'll just have to continue to love on her knowing our time is limited! It really doesn't matter, we've always known and hoped that our time with these girls are here in our home for a time as they find their forever families! For her it is the best news, for us........well...we'll surely miss her when she leaves!! We're just thankful for the time we've had to know and love her, help prepare her for the day she meets her forever family! Now that we know for sure, we've got some more work to do to help prepare her for that transition into her new family when the time comes. It's a day we look forward to yet......at the same time know how hard it will be to say goodbye!! I'm sure you can all imagine how hard it would be to part with a child you've loved and cared for so long!

  1. I am so HAPPY!!!! I have advocated for Jenna and prayed a family would find her. I've noticed her paperwork was missing from WACAP but kept checking the New Day sight but no astrick has appeared by her name yet. This is wonderful news!

  8. Yes, you certainly may post this on your blogs and let the whole world know she now has a forever family. Be sure to thank all of them, and all of you,for uplifting her. Continue to do that as transition for her has been difficult.
