Ours Forever.

It is with GREAT PRIDE that I introduce to you our our son

JAKOB ALLEN

We officially adopted him Wednesday March 17, 2010.

I cried through the entire adoption.

I will post the entire story this week about how it all happened and give more details, but I just wanted to let ALL my readers know, he is ours forever.

The fight is over and we are so relieved.

He is about two months old here, I don't know for sure because this was taken before he came to us.

I am so glad for you! I have been a long time follower and I knew you must be getting close.

We also got our daughter when she was four and a half months old and adopted her at 19 months old. (also from Foster care)

She is four now...I didn't start my blog until we were finalized as I was that paranoid.

I am so happy for you!
