2 new firewood stackers !!!

[FIRESMOKE]

I usually am just lurking on here , but thought I am going to post this because I am so darn proud. Last week my wife and I finished the adoption of 2 adorable little kids. Aaliyah is almost 3 and her brother Grant is 1 1/2 years old. Every time I open the stove door they both come over and see what's going on and feel the radiant heat. There new big sister helps to keep them out of harms way around the stove for me. A few more years and they will be helping with stacking and kindling piles.

Congrads,I have the highest admiration and respect for families that take this step. will be repaid to you a million times over

Adopting a child is the second greatest gift you can give to a child. Someone(s) else gave them life, cared and loved them enough to know they would be better off with someone else..............that would be the greatest gift.
Congrats and enjoy.

You have truly done a great thing, It has been thirty two years(damn i'm old) since my parents adopted my brother, i can honestly say that my life has been better with him in it.

Fantastic, way to go! There is nothing like sharing the pleasures of life with little ones. I did the same thing last night with my 2 year old girl. She kept wanting me to turn lights off so she could see the fire glowing. Enjoy them and love them with all youve got!

Super thing your family has done. What's the story on the kids?

 

[Art Vandelay]

If ever a man deserved rep its you. Rep sent.

Story of the kids, We took in our little girl when she was 1 year old from a local children and youth service center. When we got her we hoped it would lead to adoption, but then the parents got into more trouble and then the mother found out she was pregnant again and we were asked if we would take the new bay when he arrived. Of course we said yes. Aaliyah has a laundry list of minor medical conditions and is delayed about 1 year in several things. Grant has under-developed lungs and takes breathing treatments pretty regular. All in all though they are healthy happy kids. On a side note our 7 year old daughter is adopted as well. We brought her home from the local hospital through a private adoption. I just love having a house full of littlle rug rats.
