On Monday March 5, 2007 I received
the call from IFS. The “call” was completely unexpected. We were
thinking it would the end of this week, not the first day of the
week! Needless to say I went directly home so Steve and I could
hear the details and see our baby’s face for the first time
together. Words cannot even begin to describe the millions of
emotions we felt at that time. “That time” was when WE became
parents to the most precious, beautiful baby girl!
