2 years ago today i was holding a 6 month old baby and breathing a heavy sigh of relief. 2 years ago today, kaenen OFFICALLY became our son. of course, he was our son the moment they placed him in my arms, but, in the eyes of the law, that day was february 24th, 2006. i breathed the sigh of relief because i could finally relax and know that NO ONE was coming to take MY son away. adoption is a bumpy ride before, during, and after placement. the last 6 months are almost harder than the wait for the match. during that time i am constantly on pins and needles waiting for that phone call when someone tells me that something went wrong and my child has to leave. we are in the beginning of that with shorty - we have to wait until august for her finalization.
we went to the zoo today and then to the park by my in-laws house. they had a lot of fun! a monkey came up to the window right where i was standing with shorty and scared the sh*t out of her - it wasn't funny, but...........damn. it was funny. after that shock, she seemed to have a great time. of course, kaenen always has a great time at the zoo.......he loves the monkeys! i posted some pics on flickr, so check them out.
happy finalization day kaenen-
I didn't give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know
The love I feel is as deep and real as if it had been so.
For us to love each other is like a dream come true.
No, I didn't give you the gift of life.
Life gave me the gift of you.
