Congratulations! Kids are such awesome 'creatures'. You will learn new things from them as they will from you.

BTW.. your statement is false... because I happen to have the best looking kids ;)

Congratulation's Chris thats great. My daughter is adopting a babby girl she has had since she was 8 days old. Now she's 17 months and got grandpa by the heart. Enjoy!

[DRJDVM's '69]

Congats....it sounds so cliche but it will really make you see life in a brand new way.

[Northeast Rod Run]

Congrats and a big kudos to you.

my mom does foster kids and today was one's final day with her because she got adopted by a new mother, after being with my mom for about 14 months.

always great to hear about little kids getting a second chance at a better life

[youthpastor]

well tonight is the first night he is ours! It is kinda hard to believe.

"Normal" adoptions take a ton of time but this one happened really really fast. We met for the first time just two weeks ago and here I am a dad! I just got the CARS movie- figured I would burn that into his retinas- then I need to introduce him to anything with 4 wheels on it:D

some of you may remember our story a few years back

all I can say is God is faithful and life is amazingly exciting!- Chris

[Rybar]

Hey Chris, I'm really happy for you. I read that old thread and can't believe you guys went through that.

Everything happens for a reason, your new son will be a blessing :thumbsup:

[SPEEDYSS454]

CHRIS, JUST WENT BACK AND READ THE OLD THREAD.... ITS SURELY A BLESSING THAT YOUR WIFE IS WELL ... IT VERY TOUGH IM SURE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE WITH GOD ALL IS POSS. YOU GUYS ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.:thumbsup:

[jimhamptons]

Congrats!

[Budweasel]

Congratulations!!!! You and your wife will have a blast.

People always say you won't know how much love you have to offer until you have one of your own and it's true. You're in for the time of your life.

Welcome to fatherhood. :)

[Joel145]

Congratulations!!!! God is good. Remember what Jeremiah 29:11-14 says. He has it all planned out.

[DFRESH]

Somehow God will use every terrible thing that happens in our lives for good if we trust Him---I still can't do it, but after reading your guys story, I feel I have absolutley nothing to ever complain about again. Thanks for sharing that--and congrads again on the new baby-----maybe I missed it--did you guys get a name picked out already?

Doug

[youthpastor]

His name is Alexander, I am changing his middle name to Christopher- after me. It's been a fun week hanging out with him. He is very laid back. I don't think it has fully hit me yet-

Thanks guys for the kind words :D - Chris
