ReplyDeleteIt is bliss. So happy for you, too! Is your home study finished? Where are you at in the process now?
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy and excited for all of you. What a loving family you have and will be sharing with your new little guy. I hope, as he grows, that he will come to realize what a blessing he is being given.
