Or, I guess, technically, yesterday (Thursday), I hugged J for the first time. I knew, barring any inconceivable catastrophes, he would be my son.
We saw him for the first time almost two years earlier, on the first day we met M, and met him a day or two later. He captivated us, although my husband and I didn't dare mention it to one another until long after we were safely home and attaching to M. Then, one day, one of us mentioned it (I don't even remember who brought it up first), and we were stunned to find that we had both been thinking of him all along. There was only one thing to do...to do everything in our power to make him our son. And God smiled on us all, because that's exactly what we were permitted to do.
In the last two years, J has really come into his own, and has transformed my life. He is smart, funny, silly, introspective, and full of life. And I am so very lucky to be able to call him my son.
