It's Officially Official

Well this month marks a year since H's adoption became official last March. How can that possibly be? A whole year? I don't know about any other women who have gone ahead with an "unknown birthfather" adoption, but this takes off a HUGE amount of worry and stress from my shoulders. Now, H's birthfather cannot attempt to take her away from her family. And for that I am grateful.

H's birthfather is around town somewhere I believe. I've yet to see him since I moved back last March. I don't think he would have made an effort to find H, but I'm so thankful that she is in a tight knitted, forever family where her birthfather cannot get to her. She is loved and cared for so much more than he could have ever tried to love and care for her (if he even would have).

I recently received an unexpected update from B & E. H had to get tubes in her ears because she kept having ear infections. They said that they can see a difference in her hearing! She is talking more and so much more alert. H is gorgeous as ever! Her curls are to die for and she is so smiley. I'm so very blessed to have each and every one of them in my life now. I love them all.

Don't get me wrong, I still imagine what life with H would have been like. But I know that B & E are/were a wonderful choice! H has the sweetest siblings and the most loving parents a child could ask for. My heart is all smiles! <3 Thank you, Lord.
