Ok, so its not exactly how it sounds but Friday I will finally become a mom... and it's a boy! I have been trying to adopt for over a year and he is coming to live with me this weekend. After four months of rushed evening visits and having to take him back after a weekend stay, he is finally coming home for good. This was one of the reasons I had the surgery--so that I could be a healthy and active mom. I still have a ways to go, but I feel better than I have in many many years. These last months have been life changing, and the surgery was the best thing I could have ever done for myself!

congrats to you!I have nine children.....7 I gave birth to and 2 adopted when they were 8 and 13 (my sister's kids....she died from leukemia).....you are awesome and God is amazing ....He builds families in many different ways!

Congratulations to you and your new family. I adopted a 9 mo old from Kazakhstan - she is now 13. It is so wonderful to feel needed, to love and be loved - God bless you and yours.

Thanks for sharing. Blessing to you and your home.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!! What an exciting time!

The BEST thing we ever did! One biological and one adopted or is that one adopted and one biological. Either way one is my heart and the other is my soul.

Me too! First biological, then adopted. Love those boys to bits.
