Adoption Finalized

Well finally just before Kenzie turned 8 months old her adoption is finalized! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously unless you have adopted you will not understand how much relief a little piece of paper gives you. It is not like the paper is a fancy certificate, however to Jeral and I that little piece of normal paper is like winning the lottery. Actually it is better than the lottery because Kenzie is worth more to us than all the money in the world. She is our little girl. She is a miracle, and a little piece of heaven sent down to us. Daddy and I are so happy that now legally you our ours, which just confirms what has been in our hearts since the day we met your birth mommy and she chose us.

As I sit here typing this I wondering how you will feel about this years down the road when you are old enough to understand? Will you be as excited as daddy and I? Or will feel sad, and please know that if you feel sad that is totally okay. Will you feel relief, or will you feel torn and conflicted. No matter how you feel about your adoption, daddy and I want to tell you that you are allowed to have your feelings and that you can feel free to express them to us or someone you feel safe talking too. No matter how you feel about your adoption as you get older we will always love you!

We have no regrets! We love you. Your smile is the bright spot in every day, and lately every night. There is a saying that goes like this "From the moment they slipped you into my arms you slipped into my heart." However for daddy and I you were in our hearts long before you were born, and the day they placed you in our arms, our love for you grew, and it has kept growing. We love and are so thankful you are ours!
