Finally have a court date to finalize the adoption of our granddaughter! The date is the day before her birthday so the wife and I are going to take the day off and celebrate her and her becoming our daughter. It has been a long few years in the making, stuff shouldn’t have to take this long. #Adoption #FosterParents

When you want to have a child, but it doesn't happen easily:

"We could only open our arms, but we couldn’t summon a baby by any means. If we were given one, naturally or through adoption, it was likely to be without regard for any of the reasons we had hoped would prove our worthiness. No one is less impressed with your adult accomplishments than a baby is."
