Our First Meeting





We finally met Laurel. Our first meeting was only for about 15 minutes. She played with a pen I brought in and also scribbled on a little notepad. She actually warmed up enough to give me a hug after we had been playing for a few minutes. She is tiny and beautiful and look forward to spending a full 2 hrs with her tomorrow. If all goes well, we were told court may be next Tuesday when the judge comes back. More updates to come.
