Another Adoption

Adoption Story three.....

When my husband and I called the agency, that had an eight year old boy, we arranged a meeting place. We were excited to hear that we could meet the boy in only two short weeks.
The days were long and the nights were sleepless. Finally, the day arrived....

We met at a lake in a park. We arrived before the county worker and the boy. We waited patiently by the shore with the fishing poles that we brought for us and for him. We saw the county vehicle pull in. We watched from the shore as this little boy skipped his way towards us. It was so exciting! As he approached us, he grinned with his chubby cheeks and his big brown eyes, squinting in the sun. He was precious! He knew why we were there!
We fished with him all afternoon, as he proudly accepted our attention. He burst with joy and laughter as he caught his first fish ever! It was a tiny perch dangling from his pole. He squealed in excitement! Our other two boys accepted him as their brother that very day. It was awesome!
He came to live with us a few weeks after. He excitedly unpacked his bags. He was proud to be here with us, and we were proud too.
He is now our son, as though he had always been here. We love him dearly!
He has made our lives so full of happiness. We weren't just there for him. He was there for us too. He needed a loving home, and we needed him as our son. He brings joy and laughter to everyone he meets. He is witty and smart. He has been through so much in his life, but he always makes the best of it.
He is special indeed!
