Talking We Won

Today was O's court date: The judge decided that adoption by us was the best option for O and that the old fmom had no rights to O. We're so excited here. O's at school and I can't wait to see him and tell him he finally has an adoption day. His finalization day is on National Adoption Day in our state, Nov 20th. I'm so happy that soon I'll have 2 sons. Still pinching myself.

We've been so lucky to adopt 2 children within 1 year and 2 days. Which it will be by the time we adopt O. I still can't believe it's gone by so fast.

I took my camera with me to pick up O. So I was able to capture the moment I told him. But he already knew something was going on when I pulled out the camera to take a picture of him as I told him. So he told me first that he had an adoption day; I pretty much said yes, the 20th of November. He smiled and giggled and then his friends piled on him and gave him a big hug.

We really wanted to adopt, and somehow it happened for us, we owe a lot to our cat sitter who pointed us in the right direction. Can you believe it's all because of our cat sitter. Isn't that crazy.

The boys are ready for 2 big parties. One here in NJ and one in PA (since I have a lot of family there). And Raj is so excited to finally adopt O. And have a forever brother.

Still pinching myself,
LeenaB

That's great! Hoping it all goes smoothly for you guys and that you have some great holidays!
things seem to happen in ways they were meant too! Hoping some of your luck/karma floats this way as we are very much in limbo with our little guy!
Cat sitters are great aren't they!
