Ethan's Adoption is FINAL!

Adopting Ethan has been a life changing for all of us. Jeremy and I met our little Ethan when he was 11 days old. We spend almost 3 weeks in Orlando with Ethan waiting for the clearance to bring him back to Louisiana. We started to feel that we lived in Florida. We were luckly that we were able to stay in a beautiful home of my parents friends. I am not sure how we will ever repay them. Not only did they help us with Ethan's care, they housed, feed, and provided transportation for us (not to mention emotional support and baby things) for almost 3 weeks. They even got up at 4:30am to bring us to the airport. We hope to one day get a sibling for Ethan, but for right now it is just the three of us. We finalized Ethan's adoption today (June 13th). We are excited that the home visits, paper work and red tape are finally over (so we think) but most of all, we are happy to have our little man.

I know it feels as though a weight has been lifted since the adoption is final even though he's been yours all along. We felt the same way when our adoption was final. It so great to see another family formed by adoption. We feel so lucky to have been witness to it all!
