Sarah, thanks! You are absolutely right. My little son's adoption finalized on April 11th. Yesterday we received his new birth certificate in the mail. What an awesome feeling to know no one can ever take him away.

So do you have to wait until they're finalized to post pics? this is all new to me... sorry for the silly ?? BTW... Ty's a handsome young man!!!


Shonda,
Since I adopted Ty from the Fost/adopt program through the state, you can't post pictures until after the adoption has been finalized. You may be able to post after TPR, but I waited just to be sure.

I could probably post pictures of my daughter since I named her and her bmom nor bmom's family ever saw her. And she looks WAY different now than at birth anyway, but I think I might ask her SW just to be safe.

Thanks for the great responses about Ty. He is the joy of my life. And finally having the adoption go through has just made me just so much more happy and assured!

Asking a favor:


Could any of you that are willing PM me with the name of the agency you used to adopt your child?

Thanks,

Wow,

Everyone's babies are SO gorgeous. I can't wait until the day I will hopefully get to post here as a parent, and not just a "gawker"!

What adorable children. Okay, if I do this right I will post a picture of my Jory. This is Jory taking his one-year-old picture two days before his birthday and four days before his first haircut.
