Now I can share the greatest news! After a 3 yr journey, this morning the papers were signed, sealed & delivered and we now have a new grand daughter, Carrie Isabella, our son & daughter in law adopted. The blanket she's wrapped in was made over 18 yrs ago by my mom for her 1st great grand...but she died before she finished the quilting. When the 1st grand was on the way, I got it out & was able to finish the hand quilting (with her voice in my head telling me how) and now all 4 of the grands have come home "wrapped in Granny Hatcher's love." We rejoice in this little angel..and I will TRY not to bore you all with too many pictures!!

Oh Gerry, I am so happy for all of you! This baby is just beautiful. I also wanted to tell you that Hatcher is my maiden name... how funny is that?

Linda, that is really unreal!! But I bet you aren't from Tenn!
We have alot of family there... Tennessee, Kentucky oklahoma lol
Good grief! We could be "cousins!" Have you seen the Hatcher website? if not, let me know & I'll send you the link.
I am going to PM you with my family history (short version) lol. We probably related somewhere down the road...

What a blessing. I'm so happy for all of you. I'm sure she is the answer to many prayers. Upload all the pictures you want - you're three years behind, so let's see her! Did you get to hold her yet?

Sadly, she is still in Fla. BUT soon as all the papers are done in both the TN & FL courts, they will be coming home & they live about 20 mins away! We have their fur baby, Cooper!! Who is rotten!

The first picture, she is so perplexed looking 'Hey let me out of here, enough of this not moving stuff!' :P The second is more peaceful. Such a beauty, love the blanket and the story and her little outfit. Enjoy and Congrats to all.

I think she was trying to figure out just who that was talking as it's my DIL holding her. Remember, she hadn't heard their voices invitro! But I think she has them imprinted on her brain now! Not sure they have quit talking to her!!!
Thought it was babies that need an off button...not the parents! She is adorable, lucky and blessed baby. :)

Congratulations on your new family addition!! How wonderful for everyone! I promise never to be bored with your pics of your grandchildren as long as I can bore you with pics of mine!! lol I have always believed that adopting a child is one of the greatest gifts in the world for both the child and parents. That was before I became a Grandma and now I must include grandparents in that thought! My Mother once (at least) told me that love is the only thing that gets bigger the more you give it away so your whole family must be bursting with love about now! Thank you for sharing your wonderful news! It made my day so much brighter!

Congratulations on the new addition to the family.<br /><br />
In Dec 2003, my eldest son married and in January of 2004 he presented us with 2 grandsons. Our first grandchildren, we were not able to get pictures of their homecoming in the suit that he had worn home from the hospital. My son adopted her 2 boys. One weighed 200 pounds and one weighed 120 pounds. Such joy to come into our lives. They were almost grown when he adopted them. We now have 3 boys and 3 girls as grandchildren. May you and your family have joy and blessings from this wonderful event.
