Adoption Talk Girls at MOA

About a year ago I found a website that had a great bunch of ladies that were involved with adoption. Over the course of the year we have become a "family" that has supported each other while we wait and after we have had the placement of a child. My dear friend Emily was in the Minneapolis area from her home in Iowa. With her were her husband, Jake, and their new baby Asher. Asher was placed with them in February. As fate would have it another Michelle in St. Michael is also on the AT Board! She and her husband have an adopted son, David, who will be 2 in July. We all met up at MOA for a day of fun and then met the daddy's for dinner. The next night everyone join at our house for more fun! It was so fun to meet "live and in person!"

We found a funny shirt stand. Should I get this and wear it to court for finalization? Probably not!

And Dayne can wear this!
