Happy New Year! (and exciting news)

About a month ago, my caseworker mentioned a child that was on their webpage, but when I looked at his picture and read about his needs, I just didn’t feel he was my son.  A few weeks ago, I saw some updated pictures and learned there was updated information in his file.  He kept popping up in different places and I finally decided that I should look at his file.  Watching the videos, seeing the new pictures and reading the medical information convinced me that I really needed to consider this child.  I had a doctor review the file and give me an idea of what he would need if I were to bring him home.  I couldn’t stop thinking about this little boy and finally realized that it was time to say “yes”.  I am working on the paperwork to bring him home and I should be travelling to China sometime in March!

Unfortunately, I can’t share his picture, but I can tell you he turned 2 in November and he’s absolutely adorable!  I’ll spend the next few months working on more paperwork and making plans for doctor visits once he’s home.  I will also be preparing his big brother for some really big changes that he won’t completely understand until there’s actually another little boy in the house all the time.

I think 2016 is going to be a great year for us!
