Home two years

I don't post to often but I just wanted to share my boys. Our son came home 2 years ago at 4 months old and things have been full of complete joy ever since. My older son who is 12 loves him so much as does the whole family. For those waiting, I know you hear this often but it is so worth the wait just be strong and patient. I don't know what I would have done without the friends on this forum and I just want to Thank you all for the support I got and wish you all a happy holiday.
Tina
