On December 9, 2011, a 3 week old, big headed baby girl dressed as an elf showed up at our house. I am not trying to be insensitive. Her head was large and doctors were concerned at her birth that abuse, while she was in the womb, could have caused enlargement. But after an ultrasound, it was determined that she just has a big head. I am happy to report that she has grown into that head! The elf suit made us laugh: Candy cane striped leggings and a green velour top with white trim.
That day we embarked on a lengthy process towards adoption. Over three and a half years later, we gathered (in the very courtroom where her case had been heard multiple times) with family and friends to celebrate her adoption into our family. Kinsey Lorraine Thomas is our forever daughter!
