July 13, 2007...a dream became a reality as Daddy Bear and I stood nervously in a Russian courtroom and became the proud parents of the most precious little boy in the world. It was beyond exhilarating, better than amazing, and definitely the most incredible adventure/journey that we will EVER go on in this life of ours!
July 13 is a special day - it's the day we OFFICIALLY became a family. I say 'officially' because we can say that as soon as we saw his sweet little picture and referral video, we just knew that he was our son. Yes, it took a few months to finalize it, but I was his mother from the very moment I saw that picture. I believe I was his mother from the moment he was born, it just took a bit longer than the traditional Mama to get to her baby. What matters most is that I did indeed get there to my sweet baby boy!
So, here's to our wonderful Bear Cub!! Happy Adoption Day! The memories of that day in 2007 are still fresh in our minds and we are forever thankful for you and all that you are. You are our baby...always will be...our son. Now those are the 2 sweetest words that I know...
We love you, Bear Cub!
Happy Adoption Day to you all!
