Annie,
I am so glad that the Nursery that my mom and Ray made, with Amara in mind my I add, has helped you to see how much everyone around you is also waiting for this wonderful little girl to come and meet her new family! I think about you and darryl and how you are doing in this process, I couldn't imagine waiting for someone and not know when you are actually going to see them. Chris and I can't wait to meet our Step-Niece! Always remember you are in our thoughts and prayers, and you will be until Amara comes Home.
Love Kathleen
