A little "project" I have been working on PIP
Some had asked why the pic of my son had his face blurred in my sig pic. Well, up until today (since March 2009) he was a foster child in our home.
Well, he was ADPOPTED today. Man, this was one long project, to say the least.
So, since I am sure some of you have wondered what he looks like, here is a pic of his super cute face. I also updated my siggy with updated pics of the other kids.
Oh - and instead of Lil J - he is now JUSTIN

I have been really busy recently, but I have been reading the board. I noticed the picture of Lil J was no longer a blur before seeing this post. I have been reading your blog every time you update!
Your strength, determination, good-nature, compassion, and love are obvious to me thus any court/judge/etc would have been crazy to deny the adoption.
Justin looks so happy and healthy mostly because he has been "home" for years. Knowing that there is a family that loves him and will protect him. You can see it in his face.
Don't you love when you can check off a project on the to do list - even more so when it has included so much stress and frustration. Most of my projects involve blood, sweat, and tears !!! Congrats on following through, maintaining your determination, and not backing down!
I admire you and your family.
