God. God has blessed my family today more than words can express. Today I am the proud father of a wonderful baby boy. God somehow saw fit to bring him to us. He turned 2 Monday and has been with us since he was 6 months old.

Aldeer brothers and sisters, meet Jacob Andrew!









We never expected to adopt him...we thought it was to be the girls currently placed with us. But God knows best and is in control. Just wanted to share our awesome day.

Fine lookin' young man. Not only has God blessed you, but He has truly blessed this young man by allowing him to be a part of your family. Congrats!

Congratulations, I don't understand the courts process sometimes, but at least this time it worked right.

Mike, thank you for sharing your family's joy with us. In the midst of our chaotic and negative world, it is good to see the results of God's blessings and love.

Mike I cannot begin to express how happy I am for you and your family. What a great thing for this little boy and what a great example you are setting for your natural boys. I am sure that God is smiling on you right now

Beautiful story. Stuff like this should get more publicity...not prying into folks' business, but just general adoption statistics and success stories of those who choose to give them. It's such a great thing, but I rarely hear about it...aside from what a nightmare it can be for prospective families to jump through all the hoops required by the system.
