Risk Over!



We received GREAT news today – news that we have been anxiously anticipating for over four months.  Vera's "risk period" is officially over!  This means that we no longer need to worry about her being removed from our home and returned to one of her birthparents or to foster care. 

We still have about six to nine months of completely normal legal stuff to do before we go to court and formally/legally adopt her, but that is all part of the normal adoption process.  The tenuous legal situation that caused her placement with us to be classified as “high risk” has come to a close.  God is good all the time and no matter what, but we are especially basking in his goodness right now! 

PS:  We still can't post her picture on social media – we need to wait for the official "decree of guardianship" paperwork, which should arrive in approximately four to six weeks.  In the meantime, if you’d like to see a picture, email jeannineshannon@gmail.com or text 301-613-5790 and we’ll send you one that way.
