Today I was finally able to meet Hannah and her grandmother. Her little brother, Adrian, was there too. We met at the CASA office around 4:30pm after I got off work. My first impression was that she was nice. She was being nice to her brother because they were in the conference room with me. She's a pretty girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She's kind of skinny and was quiet; she seemed nervous and weary (her file had mentioned she'd already had a few CASAs before me). Her brother is mixed half Caucasian and half Native American with light eyes, dark hair, and dark skin. Hannah's grandmother was elderly and in a wheelchair. We talked about the fact that they were from Mississippi and how they'd come here because of Hurricane Katrina. I told them that I was from the South too and that sparked a long conversation between me and her grandmother about what we missed and all that stuff. We ended the meeting with me promising to visit Hannah at her foster home the following week.
