My blog is going public today!
The big secret is out: We're adopting!!!
And that adorable newborn baby (who is now 14 months old) in the picture above is our new son!!!!!!!
Quick info: We are calling him by his alias "Joel" until his real name is revealed. He is in another country (U). He has no family and lives in a baby house, which is an institution setting. He faces an adult mental institution in a couple/few years. He is being rescued by us because he is our son and we love him. His ransom is high. :( He has arthrogryposis like our daughter. He is cute! WE ARE BEYOND EXCITED!!!
And for those of you who said I was his Mama. FINE YOU WERE RIGHT. <-- Now print that and frame it because I'll only say it once. ;)
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no alexis you are gonna be saying it for YEARS! you are his MAMA!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
ReplyDeleteYou may only say it once but I have it in print now ;) Blessings to your beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteHi Alexis,
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of Kiersten Mc A. I read her FB post linking to this and wanted to comment, but am just so overwhelmed by your compassion and resolve that I don't know what to say, except that you and your family totally rock for walking the walk.
