When I came home with Ivy in February, that 6-month post placement visit seemed so far away. Now, it seems like it has gone by so quickly. As expected, it went very well. When it came to the question of bonding, I shared with our social worker Ivy's reaction on that first day we met (you can read about it here). As I was reciting the story, Ivy quietly started crying. I know there had to be so many emotions she was feeling that day and the day we met the social worker last week. She is such a brave girl. She has adjusted so incredibly well. I cannot imagine it being any more perfect. So, we're moving on. I'm looking forward to the final post placement visit in February. I can only imagine how great she will be doing by then.
Welcome to my family blog. I have been married to Mike for over half of my life. I love my Savior, Jesus. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to six terrific, interesting children. My 3 oldest were born to me in my younger years, while my 3 youngest were given to me by God in my older years. I am very blessed. ~Cheri

Oh, I remember the day you met Ivy! I looked back, apparently I didn't comment - but my heart hurt so much for young Ivy and for you - cause i know it hurts to be there...
I have to agree that Ivy's smile has only gotten bigger & her eyes brighter - amazing what love can do!
Aw, I love seeing photos of Ivy with her daddy. Just precious. It's hard to believe 6 months have already passed. She's such a brave, little girl.
