There are no words....

I cannot even begin to tell you how overwhelmed with blessings I feel right now.


What do you say to a man who choses to be a dad? One that doesn't have to, but wants to anyway? One that takes all of the tough times that come with raising a son that has special needs and who resists him every step of the way? One that has raised a boy since an infant and wants so bad for him to be his son like he already feels he is? Thank you is not enough.


What do you say to two boys who are so full of wonder and questions? All of the why's and why not's and I don't understands? And the never agains..... Because they should not have to know the bitter sweet feelings that they do. Because they understand that they are so loved and wanted, but also understand loss.


It would be easy to say I felt alone four years ago. Just me and my boy and my big pregnant belly. But I never did. I knew that God would send me and those two boys the man that we needed. Because God is in the business of knowing that a little boy needs a man to help him grow. He did it for His Son, He would do it for mine. And He did. But watching that come to be, a man that loved me and my boys, who was not only willing but wanted to make a family with us, that is humbling. And to see him on that stand in front of the judge and our parents asking to be their father forever....well...there are no words.


So tonight I am just overwhelmed. And thankful.


So here they are! As Parker said, "More important than a birthday." Because they have a Father who loved them enough to give them a daddy.

I'm so overwhelmed with excitement for you. I would be happy anyway, but I guess knowing the road that you traveled to get to where you are now just makes this victory so much sweeter for me.

You are blessed indeed. And your babies...well, there are no words.

Congratulations!
