Tonight was our monthly support group at the Chapmans or as its called "First Friday". We started the evening with dinner at a Mexican restaurant with the Kim and Michael and Tymm and Laura. Its amazing how many friends we have made during this process.
Next off we headed to our gathering and who did I see at the door? It was Miss Laney! Yes Miss Laney was there, after only being home for a few days. Many of you have read me talk about her and some of you read her blog over the past few weeks. Call me emotional, but I felt some tears when I saw her with her mommy. You see..Laney is the first baby we have seen come home after watching the process..Seeing her was precious. A fun time was had by all, starting to really get to know some friends and even got 2 new quilt squares!
There were actually several babies there and I wish I had been able to meet them all. I met some new people and visited with other families.
There is one lady who always encourages me. She is a mom and is happy and positive and loves Jesus. Just talking to her brings me a sense of peace.
Visiting with these families is such an encouragement each month. Families who attend are in all stages from those paperchasing to families who are home with their children!!!
A lot of families saw their baby's face for the first time today. Congrats to you all!
Perhaps a picture tomorrow...

Hi,
I followed your link off of Mary Beth's blog... I hope you don't mind if I hang out a bit - I can't wait to begin adopting... but am still waiting for several steps from God to happen first. It does my heart good to be able to read about other people's journeys, though... I'll keep you in my prayers!
