I'm trying 1.11 Roberta. Welcome to the program. Yes. Oh, you are. Hi, how are you? Good. What can I do for you?

Well, I have a situation. My oldest granddaughter took in my youngest granddaughter as a foster parent.

That granddaughter I was the first person to touch her. She was born in the back seat of a car. I held her for the first time the day before my birthday.

State came in. I had that child for a whole year and I've been in her life ever since. Well, since my oldest granddaughter decided she was in a foster home.
