We finalized the letter of intent. I think it was May of 1999 that I created Tia's LOI. I didn't have a clue of what I wrote. I started Xiao's pretty simple and sent it to a fellow adoptive mom for her thoughts. She let me know it needed some meat to it. So I started in again. Once I got started it was easy to beef it up. The feeling was there, I just needed to know if was okay to write it. It had to contain the usual "we will treat her the same as our other children, love and care for her. We will be able to meet any need she may have."
I believe this may have been the first thing to be notorized. Jeff our controller at work was the first outside of the immediate family to learn of our addition. (Thanks Jeff!)
