And baby makes six

Dan & Darcey have been friends of mine for over 20 years, and they have 3 great kids. They hadn't planned to raise a 4th child, but 9 mos ago they were asked by the state to foster a 3 mos old baby that was born to an unfit single mom (who happened to be a very distant relative they had never met).  Lilly is a sweet child who deserves a loving family and great parents like Dan & Darcey.  Today, family and friends gathered to celebrate Lilly's first birthday - a great party!  Dan told me they have begun the adoption process but there are no guarantees.  Lilly's birth mom has shown no signs of improving her life and no interest in her daughter. I am thankful for folks like Darcey & Dan, who open their homes and hearts to a child born to unfortunate circumstances and their love makes all the difference. Fingers crossed all goes well for the nicest family of six I know.
