love her so much?!  they just returned home to iowa & will return for Esther's court date

the short version is that Esther is a little girl that has lived in Clayton's former orphanage

for 3 years where she arrived weighing little more than a newborn at age 3. she has waited

and waited and God has finally brought her forever family.  she is so loved & cherished

by them.  of course, adoption is expensive [especially when it is moving so quick] and in

order for the family to pay for the adoption expenses and to properly prepare things
for some of Esther's special needs, let's help Esther's adoption fund!
