Welcome to the family, Ruthie!

Gary and I have a new neice and my girls are thrilled to have a new cousin in town. Ruthie was born on August 8th in Montana weighing 8lbs 13 oz. Blair and Kim arrived in Montana the next evening and were thrilled to meet their new daughter Friday morning. Blair and Kim were linked with the birth mom through a friend in Montana and were excited about the opportunity to adopt a daughter and bring her home to join their family. Blair was able to fly home on the following Wednesday after a brief court hearing granting custodial rights to Blair and Kim and Kim returned the following day to Memphis after the courts agreed to let Ruthie leave the state. The adoption process will not be final for another 6 months as they work through everything between the two states. Ruthie's big brothers seem excited as well to welcome a new member to the Perry family!
