November marks National Adoption Month.
Last year at this time we were a waiting family, trying to find ways to adopt more quickly and bring our child home. This year, we have a 3 month old! We are blessed to be his parents and are so thankful to the woman who chose us for him. She was brave and full of love for T.
We have finished 2 out of 3 post-placement visits and have scheduled our last one for the last week in December. Finalization should occur the second week of February! I am so excited to have T be officially our child forever. I look at him and only see my child. There is no question that he was meant to be in our family. The heartache that I felt in the past year and a half has almost become a distant memory, because now I know what this kind of love is.
Adoption has brought me a little boy who smiles when I walk into the room, a silly baby who laughs and talks and yells, a little brother for the other boys in the house, and joy to more people than we can count.
I'm still amazed that I am washing cloth diapers, mixing formula, getting peed on, and wiping a tiny nose.
