We're officially "Mommy & Daddy!"

I sat at my desk and looked up. There it read "Congrats Mommy and Daddy - you passed court!" Ahhh!!! I wanted to jump up and down. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cheer. But instead, I picked up the phone and dialed. He picked up and I said "Hon, we PASSED! We PASSED COURT!" I smiled, got a lump in my throat, and the tears started falling. I'm a mommy! Adam excitedly said "This is an awesome Anniversary present!" We waited 12 weeks for this outcome. All in His timing and I couldn't have more joy. I cried those tears of joy all day long. We're so excited. Cannot be more happy to meet our children and hear their voices! Mommy and Daddy are almost coming ... so close little ones, so close.
As I watched "Idol gives back" tonight, I couldn't help but cry. Those stories will do that to you. And I saw my children in those faces, in those videos. I saw the life they could be living. And I simply thought, if everyone who "thought" or "wanted" to adopt, actually did it ... what lives we could change! Not only would we change the lives of children but we would change our own lives. We would be different because of it. Adam and I are changed. We hope to give a gift to Max and Anita they would not otherwise have. We get to raise two of God's children, if that's not special, I'm not sure what is! I encourage anyone thinking of adopting to pursue it!
