Savanna’s Chest– 8/29/2005
Posted by: Betsy on: August 29, 2005
I couldn’t find a simple chest that I really liked so I decided to buy an unfinished one (made of pine) and paint it the colors that are in Savanna’s comforter. It took me two week-ends to complete in 100 degrees of heat. I was so happy when it was finally done.
Savanna’s room is coming right [...]

Posted by: Betsy on: August 26, 2005
Thank you for wanting to know who I’ve registered with. I have registered with Target.com and BabiesRus.com (or in the store). It’s great fun to pick items for Savanna but I’ll need help from those of you who have had infants to let me know what I really need. Thank you for all the advice.

Savanna and I wish to thank [...]

Today I had a good laugh with my co-workers about what would have been Savanna’s full name, Savanna Noelle McC—. If you say “SNM” a few times you’ll understand why I need to change her name. It really was an unconscious thought for those of you who would doubt my intentions
I’m leaning more towards Savanna Carolina [...]
Legacy of an Adopted Child– 8/21/2005
Posted by: Betsy on: August 21, 2005
I didn’t write this but wanted to share it.
Once there were two women who never knew each other. One you do not remember, the other you call mother. Two different lives shaped to make you one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun. The first gave you life and the second taught [...]
Baby Girl–8/21/2005
Posted by: Betsy on: August 21, 2005
Today is one happy day for me. I just finished signing paperwork for the baby girl that I will be adopting from Guatemala. She was born on 8/9/05 at 9:28 a.m., weighing 5 lbs, 3 oz (normal for a Guatemalan baby). The name given at birth was Edna Carolina Perez. Edna is a very old name [...]
