January 22nd - 1 week old and a BIG DAY AHEAD!

It's Friday, Emma is 1 week old and it is the day that changed our lives forever. Today Meagan, Mike, Emma and I went to the court house to make Emma Madison an official member of the Jarboe family. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers were with Meagan as she and the social worker left us to go and stand in front of the judge. No, Mike and I did not get to go in with her to stand by her side while making the hardest decision of her life. During this journey we have gotten to know a lot about Meagan and we feel we have created a special bond with her. It really hurt knowing that she was all alone in that room! She is an incredibly brave young woman that has just had some rough times in her life.

Here are just a few of the many photos I took after we returned from the court house.
