Two days after we were licensed as a Therapeutic Foster Family, we brought "Princess Tomorrow" home from the hospital with twenty-four fractures when she was only five and a half weeks old. Her parental rights were terminated on June 11, 2009 and she was adopted on June 16, 2010. We also have two sons, "Hammy" and "Moose".

"Tomorrow" is home safe with us!
We have been taking turns holding her for the past twenty-four hours plus! She is sooo snuggly! She prefers to sleep on our chests and in our arms and we are giving her all the love she needs. She nuzzles into our necks and molds to us as best she can in a full body cast. I don't have time to write about the whirlwind of emotions I've been feeling but suffice to say it is a wee bit easier to mother a newborn when one isn't recovering from birth/surgery/hormonal overload! I also quickly want to note before I forget that I think a contributing factor to the tragic events while with her family of origin could have been that she is a classic "high need" baby who is very sensitive and perceptive but only cries whenever she is poopy, wet or needs to burp or fart. When her needs are met, she is happy. :>) High need babies like her and high response parents like us are a good fit. That's all I have for now.
