Another Angel is Added To Our Community

Cielo_Algaeed shares the excitement of her new addition, “my husband and I, member Leo_70, gladly announce the birth of our little angel, Rania Abdulrahman. She came into this world last June 14, 2008 through normal delivery. She weighs 7.3 pounds and 51cm in length. It was an overwhelming feeling to finally see her after 9 months. Another future vt member :-)"

Congrats Katmosphere – you are unbelievable!!!
