An amazing day has come in my life...
The day I "officially" became a Mom!
Not in the traditional way, mind you, for today I gave "legal birth" to my (now) 7-year-old daughter! :)
Long story short, I met her and her father when she was just a few months shy of 3-years-old. Her biological mother had many issues in her life and agreed to terminate her parental rights in Oct 2007 which allowed me step in and legally adopt her! The 3 of us have lived together for over 3 years now so our home life is pretty cozy at this stage of the game. But its nice to be "official".
Best part is I got to become a Mom without the morning sickness, epidural and pain!
Dear Jaret, Dave and Abbey, We wish you all a lifetime of happiness, love and
buckets of fun together. Love, Maureen and Gary

Now no one can say (as they do of someone else we know), those cats are her substitute for children! Congratulations Jaret and all the best to the three of you (oh, and to the cats too).
