Hey!  I posted a few months back that we were adopting a teenage boy, well about a month ago we went to court and made it official!  It honestly has been amazing. He fits our family so well, and we fit him. I hate that he had a crappy life, but I am so grateful he has a family now, and we have him. We feel so blessed!

He is a really stellar kid in spite of a difficult life, but we are definitely helping him to hash out some really hard issues and he is getting counseling, which I know will be/is so good for him. He graduates HS in a month and is enrolled in the college in our town in the fall.  We couldn't be more proud of him!

Our other kids adore him, and he adores them. I get so teary eyed thinking in just a few months I will have 4 kids.  I wondered how we would ever have a big family when just trying for one was so hard, but everything in God's timing Big Smile

I added a new pic to my siggy of my freaking adorable kids!  I read the board often, but have a heck of a time replying from my iphone, but just know I am always keeping up on you ladies even if I can't post often!

Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!
