My wife and I are finalizing an adoption of a little girl on the 18th and just wondering if there are any other members that have adopted, are adopting or want to adopt.

Congratulations!

Today was a big day. We finalized our adoption and the Judge happily signed off on it making it official forever. I'm now the forever father to a precious 5 year old girl. Pretty amazing feeling. Thank you all for your kind words. It truly is one of the best experiences of my life.

Congratulations!! Bless you and your family forever!

Congratulations to you and your wife!

Not to hijack a thread, but this is a wonderful testimony to your father! God blessed you with him, and now you can bless others, too!

Again thank you all for the congrats and kind words. It's nice to know that there are others going through or that have gone through the same experiences.

To update on the 7 year old girl, it didn't happen for us. DHS ended up deciding to pair her with her brother. Come to find out here brother was tribal so they will have to be in a tribal home. My wife and I are far from tribal and therefore it wasnt an option for us. Sad but obviously wasnt meant to be.

Congratulations!!!! My husband and I too have adopted, one of the best feeling in the world when that judge

gives the ruling. With the 7 year old, pray, pray, pray....God with do the rest.

I will say when that judge said the word congratulations, a slew of emotions over took me. It was an amazing experience. I'm not a very outwardly emotional man but when they started asking if I accept that she will be my forever daughter and am I up to the challenge, I may have had a little extra liquid in my eyes. So proud and honored to have been granted such a responsibility of loving this little girl all her life.

What will be, will be. I pray that they find a good home for 7 year old and her brother!
