Default He's HERE!

Hey, everybody - sorry I haven't had a chance to get on sooner to post this, but our precious Ben arrived late Friday afternoon & I wanted to post a pic of him while I have a few minutes at home.



On Sunday evening, birth mom relinquished her parental rights, and Bill & Lara got to take their beautiful son home. There are still some legal hurdles, of course, until the adoption is finalized - but we are well on the way, and the important thing is that he is home with us in a safe, loving environment.

Thanks from our entire family to each & every one of you for all the prayers and support you've given us over the past few months. Ben is healthy & happy and has stolen all our hearts already, and you will most assuredly be seeing so much of him before long that you'll probably be sick of hearing his name!!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!!!

Awww this just brings tears to my eyes! I've been wondering how things were going. So glad to hear that Ben is home safe and sound with a mommy and daddy who will treasure him for the precious gift he is!
