Garrett's Adoption Day

It's offical! Garrett Michael is now a part of our forever family.

Garrett came to us May 14, 2007. I remember the day like it was yesterday.

He was our second foster child coming to our home for a perm placement. His birth mother was young and didn't have the family guidance that is needed while raising a child so young. She decided she wanted to be a teen instead of a mother. It was hard watching the lack of interest, but it didn't stop us from loving this little boy and giving him what was lacking from his biological family.

We went through months of run around with the system. His mother moved from county to county to extend her time to get her son back. In the end, it wasn't enough. One month after termination of parental rights for Garrett his biological brother was born. He was placed with his great aunt and has been living with her since he was taken away from his mother at birth.

So, here we are, just a formality of the process. He is our son now and forever and we are so greatful for that.

I will end with some pictures of our handsome little boy on his special day!
