We've been raising our nephew as one of ours for a long time now, but today he became legally ours! This is the second adoption hearing for our family, but it sure is much easier to understand in English than in Ukrainian :-) The judge was thankful that Meister had family to "fill the gap" for him, and we are honored to be chosen by God for that role.
Meister's version of what happened today: "We went to that big building, and the judge said I could have a new mommy and daddy."
Welcome
This blog is mostly just a journal of things that I want to eventually scrapbook. If I keep the journaling here, then I won't lose it. Actual papers tend to get lost in my house. Things on the computer - especially online - are much easier to find. :-)
