We're official!!!
My little man and I are an official, legal family! We finalized our adoption today!
He is the most precious gift I have ever received (hence his name, which means "Gift of the Lord"). I am so blessed. Life is good! (How do you attach a photo? I tried, but it keeps saying I exceeded the filesize??)

really Kaiyan Mattais ( long awaited gift from the Lord) for a boy or Nai'lei for a girl - (which means long awaited in Hawaain) Journae as a middle name for journey - I had a girl but ended changing the spelling so it was easier for people to pronounce it ( Ny'Lee)

To attach a picture you need to resize the picture as its probable too big. You can use a photo software and save it to another size and then you should be able to attach it or just put the picture in shutterfly or something of that nature and you can post the link. Kim
