It's Official---I'm a Grandma Again!!!
Posted in The Adoption Journey for Our Future Grandchildren
Chelle called, and it is official. The committe unanimouslym and in just 5 minutes, approved her and Josh to be the foster-to-adopt family for Ronald, age 9; and Thomas, age 7. They are 4th and 2nd graders, and will be coming to our family from the state of Delaware as soon as their school is over for the year. Their adoption caseworker says that the people working on the placement asked her where on earth she found people like this, and to please find them some more just like them. Makes me proud to be the mother of one of them, and the "other mother" to Josh. I'm glad that these people could see that they will make incredible parents for these boys. I can't wait to meet them!!! They will be staying here for a week during their school's spring break, and Michelle is so excited, and Josh is already quite the proud Daddy. I haven't met them yet, but I love them already!
Ronald (9) is in the back, and Thomas (7) is in front. Thomas has very mild cerebral palsy and equally mild learning disabilities.
AREN'T THEY CUTE???
My daughter Chelle in a picture taken by the adoption caseworker when she and Josh made their trip to Delaware to meet their boys. Ronald is on the left, Thomas on the right. Thomas may not have my genes, but he most definitely shows in this picture that he has lots in common with his new grandma---look at those arms across his chest. Doesn't Chelle look absolutely radiant? My husband says that she was glowing so much they didn't need a flash to take the picture :-)
I wonder when schools in Delaware get out? I hope it's BEFORE Memorial Day and not after!
