This year (Jan 19th), we celebrated Brady's adoption day (the day of his final adoption hearing) by taking him to a nearby mall with a Carousel Horse Ride and for dinner at the RainForest Cafe. He was in Awe at all the animals in the rain forest, especially when the storm(pretend) started and all the animals came to life. They also had large aquariums and one with clown fish - he was SO excited to meet Nemo!! (and he's never seen the movie!) It was a wonderful celebration getting to talk with him about his adoption, go through pictures and telling the story of his birth and his birthfamily, and just to rejoice in God's beautiful plan of him being our chosen son. It was a precious day and evening for all of us and one he is still talking about! He had lots of questions this year too about his adoption and he was smiling from ear to ear when he saw his birthmom introducing him to bear at just 2 days old (HE LOVES HIS BEAR AND IS GREATLY ATTACHED - seriously, he doesn't sleep without him!!)
We love you Brady and are so thankful the Lord chose us to be your parents!! To Donna (Brady's birthmom...and to Judith - his birth grandmother) - Thank you from the bottom of our heart for bringing this little joy into our lives, for making all our dreams of being parents come true, and for your selfless and sacrificial love. We love you and Brady will always grow up knowing how much you love him as well.
