Have to show off my boy
We've been home with Jake for about a month and a half now and it has been so wonderful! Everything we expected and more! It's so true when they say that once you bring them home it feels like they've always been there. We are so in love with him and we have all bonded with each other 110%. I don't get a chance to visit the boards much anymore, but I think of you all often and always say a prayer for those just starting out on this incredible journey and for those waiting to go bring their little ones home.
I am sharing a few pictures of Jake smiling for his Mommy. Take care - Wendy
