Beautiful story, @CrazyKittyLvr2. Congratulations!

My friends daughter and her husband were unable to have children, they adopted three little ones who had been in foster care also. I've been around them some, they are soooo cute and funny. Just makes a heart happy hearing a positive story about children.

Congratulations on your expanding family....it’s going to be very merry at Christmas with all of the wrigglers and gigglers for everyone to enjoy.I adopted my son too and I was given this card from a friend

    Not flesh of my flesh

    Not bone of my bone

    But still my own

    Never forget not even for a minute

    You didn’t grow under my heart

God Bless your niece and her husband. They must have hearts of gold and filled with love.  My brother, my sister and I were adopted, each 3 years apart and from different places.  Now that I've raised my two daughters and I am of age that I reflect quite often on my life, I wonder how my precious parents opened their hearts and provided us with a wonderful, loving home so willingly and happily. I never wanted to know about my biological mother, but I was always curious about my nationality. Just this year I did the Ancestry.com test.  Back in my school days, in the south, it was a big thing to be able to say "what you were". I think that's the only time I ever wondered about being adopted.  I am so grateful that they are the ones who chose me, just as I am sure that these two little girls will be.

Re: We Are Offically Getting 2 New Family Members

Thanks to all for your good wishes. We were pretty sure the parents wouldn't get them back, they never did anything they were supposed to do like classes.At the termination hearing the Judge said he was not taking the kids out of my nieces home because they were happy,thriving and the natural parents showed no interest in them. He terminated their rights then and there.  From the time the little kids arrived the older ones were worried about them being taken back.
