Finally! After three years of trying to become parents, over a year of trying to get our license, three months of waiting for a placement, and two long weeks of waiting to meet our new son, today was the day! He just walked right on in to the conference room like he owned the place. Then he noticed all the new faces and wasn't too sure. As soon as I saw him walk in the room, emotion over took me and I couldn't stop crying. It's been a long time coming and, until today, I couldn't see "the light at the end of the tunnel." I never thought the day would come when I actually got to see my child. let alone get to hold him, and talk to him, and take pictures with him. All through our meeting, my mind kept drifting back to him, our son, and I had to keep myself from crying again. I'm still a mess! Look out because I could start crying at any moment! Emotional new momma coming through! For the most part, any time I think about him, I start crying! It was so hard to watch him leave with his foster "grandparents!" This is going to be a LONG month! I will have to busy myself around the house getting the last few things ready for him, just to get through the week, until the next weekend when we can finally see him again! We still aren't allowed posting photos anywhere on the internet. Sorry! We know everyone is so anxious to see him! We can tell you, though, he looks like he belongs to us! He will fit right in!After the adoption is finalized, we will blow this thing up with all the pictures we've taken between now and then!
We will keep everyone updated about our upcoming visits! Prayers please for a smooth transition for us and for Owen as he joins our family! We can't wait to introduce him to everyone!
