Alexis arrives

Alexis arrived in our home around 6:00pm tonight. We sure are glad that our agency prepared us, because she really is bruised up. She is also HAPPY, she was smiling when I lifted her out of the transporters car and has been smiling ever since. She is snugly, sweet and oh so busy. We feel very blessed to be in this little girls life, even if it is not for long. The cats on the other hand are not feeling quite as blessed as Monty and I :)

I am attaching a few pictures, due to confidentiality please do not send to anyone else.

Love,

Monty and Amanda

This Morning

Well I could not wait to share with everyone our great news. I got the call today and Monty and I are licensed foster parents. This could not be a better ending to a wonderful birthday week. Our agency also has a little girl that may be available for placement this week. She is a 17 month female, with a scull fracture from abuse. She has been medically released. That is all we know so far, but I will keep everyone posted on our progress.

Afternoon

 

We are defiantly getting a baby girl tonight. She is 17 months old and her name is Alexis. She has a sister that was placed on Friday when they were both taken from mom for physical abuse on Alexis. She has been in the hospital since Friday, to make sure she is okay. She is being released to our home tonight with no restrictions. They did warn me that she has two black eyes and quite a bit of bruising on her face, but all indications are that she is going to be okay. And we plan to love and kiss all of those bumps and bruises away.

Love you all

Will keep sending updates as they come!
