10 Days to Maeve (4 days until Travel)

This is Maeve's "Finding Ad" published in a local paper on May 10, 2006. This picture was most likely taken very shortly after she was abandoned on March 23, 2006. The ad states when and where she was found. It also says that she was found in a basket wrapped in small quilts.

A "finding ad" is placed in a local paper for all abandoned babies. It is the first step in the process for their eventual adoption.








Here is Maeve at about 4 months old. This picture was taken when she had been approved for adoption. Her smiling face looks like it is saying, "Mommy, you can come and get me now...and bring Grandma & Grandpa too!!"

You are a better woman than I with the packing. I took 2 suitcases + a carry-on and filled part of my brother's and bought a gigantic one there that came home full.
