Andrew's Adoption Day

Andrew's adoption took place in SC. Because we no longer live in SC ,we traveled there a few days early so that we could visit with family and friends. We stayed with some of our friends that have become family and had lots of fun.

May 2nd, 2008, was Andrew's adoption day. Friends, family, and caseworkers met us at the courthouse for the memorable event. I have to say that even though Andrew has been part of our family for close to 2 years, we were all extremely excited to see this day arrive when we made Andrew legally our son. This is a day that we will treasure forever.
After the adoption, we all headed to the beach for a vacation and to celebrate Andrew's adoption.

All of our children are legally ours. We are blest to have such a beautiful family designed by God and created out of LOVE.

One thing that we will never forget about this day is that Andrew and his friend, Caleb, set off the van alarm and Jeff was gone with the keys. Therefore, all of us stood in front of the courthouse listening to the car alarm go off for about 20 minutes. While we waited, Caleb and Andrew had to stand in front of the van and repeat loudly, "I did it". I am sure after this neither boy will rush ahead and try to get in the car without an adult present!!

Boys will be BOYS even on a special day like today.
