Oh, wow. What a beautiful thing, for both of you.

Like a lot of folks here have said at other times and in other places, I believe we create our own families as much as we belong to the ones with whom we share blood. You’re making a created family a true and even holy reality. There’s no act of love that’s more profound than this.

I wish you, and him, the best, and of course you’ll be in my prayers.

Thanks, thirdculturemom. I’m sure they have to make sure we can take care of him, but it won’t be a complicated as adopting a baby would be. At his age he will be able to give his opinion too.

This is such a great thing to do, Shawn. I hope they don’t make the adoption process too complicated–this boy needs a family now. Good luck, and my best wishes!

That’s what this is all about, isn’t it?
I will be sending good thoughts (I am right now).
