Finally Home!
Well I am finally home with my son, Aaron William. It is hard to believe how smooth things went in Guatemala. He is such a well behaved and happy child. I am so blessed and overwhelmed by all the help, support and prayers I have received. Thanks to all my friends here on the forum for helping me get through the rough times!!! You have been my support system. If I can help anyone here in any way, PM me and I will do what I can to help. Thanks and God Bless all!
Steve & Aaron

I am so happy to finally see that happy ending picture for you and your little boy. It really warmed my heart this morning. I have thought and prayed for you many many times through your very heartbreaking journey.
I'm sure you two will be perfectly happy together. THIS was a match made in heaven.
God bless your new happy family! Enjoy!!
