    I filled out an inquiry about Minnie with Madison Adoption Associates. You know that moment you read about them and feel connected in your soul . I’m there . I’ve always wanted to adopt , around 15 years now . I want to help her . She’s precious to me . I hope she’s still available for adoption . We hadn’t started anything just yet as far as paperwork/ home study . Any information/ help to get this started I would appreciate it .
