Today is a very special day in our family. We official become a family of 3 today. Ian moves in to our home for good!!!! We are so excited and so blessed. We have waited for many years to be blessed with a child. God heard our cry and was waiting to place the perfect child into our home. It is amazing how your love can grow for a child that you did not carry. When I look at Ian I think of him as our own and that he has been a part of our family from the beginning.
Ian has been with his foster family since birth and they have done a wonderful job in raising him. He has been very loved for the past two years and I am so thankful for that. I know that this day is a very sad day for them and my heart goes out to them. When you think about it say a little prayer for them. The next few weeks are going to be difficult.
As for us our good news keeps growing! We are going to be able to foster Ian's brother. There is a 90% chance that we will be able to adopt him. Right now we are waiting for a date for his parental rights to terminated. We do not have the little guy just yet but as soon as the attorney can get on the ball and file paperwork then we can move the little guy in. Right now we are getting to do visitations with him at his foster parent's house. He is so precious and tiny. I am attaching a photo of Ian so everyone can see the cute little guy.
Thank you all for your prayers! This has been a long journey and we still have a ways to go but the light is at the end of the tunnel.

Oh Mindy and Shawn we are SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!! God IS good!! Ian is a sweet looking little man. Can't wait to meet him. How old is his brother? So excited this is all working out for you. Keep us posted.
His brother is 3 months old. He is so tiny though and has a few health problems but nothing that he can't overcome. He was born with drugs in his system.
