As some peas may know, we've been fostering a little boy since he was 2 months old. On Monday, his parents' rights were severed. The Judge ordered that he stay with us and our case is moving to adoption! We never intended to foster, and we'd almost given up on adoption but the story of how he came to us is really amazing. So I can finally introduce him. We've named him Nathaniel Levi. Nathaniel means "God has given" and Levi means "joined in harmony." And indeed he has been joined in harmony to our family and we feel complete as a family of 4. Matthew loves being a big brother, Fiona adored having a baby in the house, and we are excited to be starting our new life together. He is 9 months old. Matthew is his favorite person in the world, his favorite thing to do is eat, and he's babbling up a storm and starting to cruise. He's an adrenaline junkie, he's not afraid of anything, he's crazy smart, and he knows he's cute, so he keeps me on my toes all the time. He's much more bold than Matthew ever was. He's a tiny little guy (4th percentile) so he's like this huge powerhouse in this tiny little package. He keeps us laughing, that's for sure. This is my favorite picture of him. He was 6 months old. He looks the same now except for now he has teeth.  My boys <3   This is my most recent photo of him. It's one of the few I have these days where he's not covered in food LOL  This journey to grow our family has been a long, painful, unpredictable one, but we ended with exactly the right children for our family. We are blessed. Thanks for walking it with us. |

Congratulations on the upcoming adoption! Nathaniel is a beautiful little boy. The expression in that last picture of him looks so incredibly full of personality. You know, you posted something a while back about a baby, and knowing the problems you had building your family in the past, I didn't want to ask if he was yours or possibly a friend's baby. If you have posted something about fostering him, I missed it. Nathaniel is a very lucky boy to have you as a mommy. While it is sad that his parents lost custody of him, there would have had to have been a darned good reason and could have eventually led to harm coming to this sweet little boy. He is in the best place possible now.

He is darling! Congratulations! My favorite picture is the one of the two boys, where Nathaniel's little smile is a perfect echo of his brother's. |
