Sweet BabyJ,
We brought you in to our home, feeling called by the Lord to do so, to help your young parents...for a short time. (You see, we know your young father......he is our nephew......and your grandpa......well........your Dada grew up with him! :) )
Soon, things went from bad to worse for your young parents and the state decided to step in and formally remove you from them for a time. All the 'important' grown-ups decided that you were going to stay here, with your great uncle and aunt. Since there was no way we could see you leave and be sent to a foster home, we were very glad about that decision! For months,your young parents struggled with things in their lives........lives that were far too young to be responsible for another life! They wrestled with deciding what would be best for you and in the years to come, we promise to do all we can to help you understand it all.
This journey began back in April. You were only 2 and 1/2 months old. Now, you are so big at just over 9 months old!! You have grown and changed so much! You have the sweetest, easiest going little personality. You know us.......not as 'uncle' and 'aunt' but as 'Dada' and 'Mama'. Not as 'cousins' but as 'brother' and 'sister'.
Last week, we went to a very important 'meeting' concerning your future. Something they call a 'hearing', with a judge, and lawyers, and volunteers who care about you. There was lots of 'grown-up' talk and after some time, and some questions, the judge decided what he was going to do. Everyone agreed and everyone was wanting to do the best thing........for you.......and for your young parents.
The judge decided that you should stay with us.......forever.........for always. Your young parents had already made that decision too. They signed a very 'grow-up' piece of paper saying that they love you but they just couldn't take care of you like you needed.
So BabyJ, as your now big sister Agirl says, we are going to "n-dopt" you!! We are all very excited! Your adoption is so very special, just like Jman's and Agirl's were. You were born into this family and now you are being adopted into our home!
We love you very much BabyJ! We'll be so proud to call you our son and look forward to all that God is going to prepare you for in your life!!
