Vera Jae

Baby girl came home today.  Her name is Vera Jae.

Vera (pronounced “Veer-ah”) was my grandmother’s name.  Her impact on my life was profound.  She was there for all the important moments as well as all the seemingly unimportant moments.  She was adventurous, smart, brave, curious, strong, kind, and godly.  When I grow up, I want to be just like her.

Jae (pronounced “Jay”) was one of the names given to Vera by her birthmom.  We wanted to keep it for her, as it is part of her story and identity, and a little piece of birthmom for her to hold onto. 

Vera is now at home and is sound asleep – and we will be too, soon, we hope!

Due to the ongoing legal situation, we can’t post any of her pictures on any kind of social media, including this blog.  Hopefully, that situation will be resolved within the next few months, and then we’ll be able to post a whole slew of pictures.  In the meantime, if you want pictures, and are willing to promise us that you won’t post them anywhere or send them to anyone else, email us at jeannineshannon@gmail.com or text us at 301-613-5790 and we would be thrilled to send you some!
