What a week it has been! It has flown by and ended today with great excitement and surprise when the other directors at a meeting had a adoption finalization party for me. It started out as a regular meeting (except after I slephed my stuff in there I saw a card with my name on it next to a cake and then noticed gifties being stacked on a table), it ended up being the beginnings of a very boring meeting, a free lunch, and a surprise party for me/Korbin. How fun. The other directors got him so much nice stuff. Tons of toys, a few outfits, some books, a lot of gift cards and the sweetest cards. It was completely unexpected and I think it’s just now hitting me and it’s still a little emotional. How so very sweet for a group of 25 (once) strangers, who I only meet with once a month or so for group meetings and they did all this. Can you tell, I’m really shocked. Now I have to get some more thank you cards done. (These always take me forever!) I came home and he was so surprised. He saw all the bags and boxes and said, “Oh momma, what’s that?” Too cute!
Still no word from the social worker. So grrrr….cause we need to move closer to my work, which is in a different county, but we are waiting until they get all their ducks in a row, so to speak. On an awesome note I have received all his state payments and all his new information that comes say Korbin (Our Last Name). So cool to see that in print. I just want all the official stuff to be done so we can move on.
Updates to follow.
Hey! That is sooo exciting! I’m very happy for you and Korbin. He looks like he could be your bio son, for sure, and I’m sure he brings you just as much happiness and pleasure, without all the physical pain, eh? Hope it all comes to fruition sooner, than later, for you both. It’s a wonderful thing to be DONE.
Congratulations, early.
