For those of you that have been around for a while and know we were adopting, it happened! Well, after a long process of getting a homestudy together and DCF classes we finally got our son Austin (11y/o). We are so very happy to have him, he is a delight. Of course, we are in the honeymoon phase and I know there'll be bumps in the road ahead but we will work it all out. Hilda

Congratulations Hilda and we look forward to seeing your L/Os featuring your son Austin.
WOW that is way too kool! Congratulations on the adoption. It take a wonderful person to open up their hearts and homes and turn a little stranger into a beloved son. Please tell him from me, that I think that both he and his parents are very lucky and special!
Hilda,
Congratulations! Parenthood is such a blessing! My son is adopted as well! We are working on the next placement, but the gov't has so many rules, we might have to wait a little while longer...

congrats. We so want to adopt but with me having had cancer, we have been turned down 5 times for home study's already. Unless we get a windfall or something, we are going to be childless I guess. I'm so glad you made it through all the governmental junk. That alone deserves a medal!
Congraulations Hilda & DH!! That's great news! And welcome Austin to the family!
Congrats Hilda. That's great news. I'm happy for you.
Congrats! And how great that you adopted an older child.
It's too bad our government doesn't make it easier (& less expensive a process) to adopt. More people might be wiling/able to.
Happy scrapping your growing family.
