Good Evening,
Megan and I just returned from our Adoption Placement meeting! What an exciting day! We had a ton of information thrown at us about our son. We came home with a stack of paper that would be the size of a medium sized novel. So a lot of info to look through and go over. What we heard today in the meeting did not raise any serious questions for us though so after a 24 hour period from the meeting we will be accepting our son and starting the transition process to bring him home!
Then came all the paperwork that we had to sign. Let me tell you there was a lot! Megan has much better hand writing then I do so she did most of it. All I had to do was sign my chicken scratch signature where needed! They also talked about how the process will work from here on out. Next weekend we will go to our "undisclosed location" and spend the day with Owen. We will take him out to do some fun things together. Then, on Valentines Day weekend, he will come to our home and spend the entire weekend with us! What a great Valentines Day gift for our little family! He will then come to our home the next weekend as well and stay with us. After that he should be able to come to live with us forever.
But the greatest news of the day is....we got to meet Owen! We were talking to the case workers and other staff in the conference room to see if he was going to be there today. They said they were not sure but maybe. Then in through the door walked his foster family and Owen! He looked so darn cute in Elmo gloves and big stocking cap! Megan and I started to cry. It was so surreal to finally see our son after such a long process. He had a serious look on his face as he looked at all the new faces! His foster mom brought him right to Megan and sat him down on the table next to her. He just looked at Megan like "Why are you crying?" This little cutie just melts our hearts! He warmed up very quickly and was soon walking around the room and talking about the cars out the window! Just wait till he gets a look at Daddy's truck! We took pictures with him and also with his foster family. The foster family took a picture of each of us so they could start showing him pictures of "Mommy" and "Daddy". I got a chance to hold him and he just laid his head down on my shoulder and was so calm and quiet! I can't wait to give him even more hugs!
This was a great day and we are so happy to share it with you! Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we await the homecoming of Owen to his "Forever" family!
Todd
