Feeling blessed

Last night I shared my blog with someone who is considering adoption and noticed that I haven't written in a long time.  Life has been busy.  The best kind of busy!
As I type this, my 6 month old blessing is asleep in his swing.  Sometimes I still pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming!
  We just finished our last meeting with our social worker this morning.   Its hard to believe that this journey began over a year ago and in just a few short weeks will be coming to an end.  We will finalize our son's adoption in mid-October.   Our story will not end, its just beginning.   Our family is blessed with the most beautiful blue eyed little boy.  He laughs and smiles nonstop and continues to bless us and our family in ways we never imagined.  We are so grateful to all who helped us get to this point.   The support of our family,  friends, pastors, co-workers, social worker & attorney has been amazing and we couldn't have gotten to this point without all of you.  Thank you is not a big enough word for how we feel.  Most importantly,  we are forever grateful for J's birth family.   We continue to keep them updated on his life and will continue to do so.  We thank God every single day for bringing them into our lives and providing us with the greatest gift we will ever receive.  God has great plans for our son.  We cannot wait to see what the future holds for him.
