Back in April of this year, Olivia brought us Emma. She was going to be our second foster for RRUS. Cooper was our first. Emma came into our home on that Saturday evening and stole everyone's hearts. when she arrived, there were 10 dogs and tons of people here. She immediately made friends with all of the dogs, even our geriatric Mastiff girl. Emma was here for 6 months, and along the way, she had several families inquire about her, but for one reason or another, it always fell thru. We learned so many things about Emma in those 6 months. She LOVES to swim. She LOVES to play. Tug-o-war is her favorite game. She loves to cuddle. We just couldn't figure out why Emma hadn't been chosen to go to her fur-ever home. And then, one October night, it hit us! We were on vacation. Emma was staying with a very close friend of ours. We missed her like crazy and we had only been gone for a few days. We knew it right then! Emma was already home!

That story made m tear up. Way to go! Our adoptee TJ fell out of bed this morning at 4:30 am. These RRs are something else. I thought Cooper was wonderful,too. Sounds like you have a great family.
Good for you!!Some things are just meant to be. I think when we applied to adopt Zuri, there were other applicants interested but she ended up with us and I'm SURE it was meant to be -- just like your Emma. Congrats!
Em was home the minute she walked in your door. It just took you a little longer to figure it out. She knew you would get it eventually smart girl that she is. Congratulations on your new baby.
