Special Visit

We had a special visitor at our house today, Paden came to check out her new digs.  Linda, the foster mother brought her over to visit and let me hold and snuggle her for a couple of hours.  She is such a sweet baby and so content.  She did get a little fussy when it was time to eat but stopped as soon as a little food was in her belly.


Brian and the boys were unable to see her.  Brian and I have decided it is best to save the boys' introductions until after the relinquishment hearing.  We would never want the boys to think their adoptions were not permanent because they potentially saw her placement fail.  You never know how a child may conceive a situation.


Because of our concerns, Brian took the boys out to eat and to Toys R Us.  They had a great time hanging out with their dad while I bonded with their new little sister.


The relinquishment hearing is scheduled for three o'clock Tuesday afternoon.  Until then, our little Paden will be in the loving care of Linda and her family.  We hope to have Paden in her forever home by Tuesday evening.    We are enjoying our last weekend with our two boys before we become a family of five.
