I know my blog has been strangely quiet this past week, and so it is time to confess something... I'm in love! Quite honestly, I'd rather be with him than blogging much right now...but, I needed to share... It began unexpectedly with a call just over a week ago. A precious family was looking for an adoptive family for their little son. Their son whom they obviously adore, was born with Down Syndrome and they were hoping to find a family like ours - one who already had a child with Down Syndrome and was experienced with the syndrome - who would be open to adopting. I knew right away while talking with his mommy on the phone, that this little child was the one we had been praying for so long. Will and I prayed and talked about it through the day and some of the night, making our final decision the following morning. The process was unlike anything I have experienced, heart-wrenching and yet amazing, as I observed true love in action. I saw a couple who made a decision in their son's best interest, and while it was (and still is, I imagine) ripping their hearts out, followed through with their choice, with maturity and dignity. The memory will always be dear to me. But, back to my love affair...after saying goodbye to his mommy and daddy, grandma and dear friend, Neko snuggled into my sling and came home with me. From the moment he arrived at our home, he has been held nearly all day and a good part of the night. Everybody wants a turn, and thankfully I get a chance now and then :) He began his life being loved and adored and we are only continuing that on in our home. We love breathing in his smell and kissing his soft cheek. He is perfect in every way and our hearts are completely taken with him. I didn't think it would take place so quickly, because sometimes bonding can take a little while, but there is no doubt, Neko James has completely stolen our hearts!
