Jacks adoption was finalized this morning at 10am via a zoom call. It lasted about 10 minutes and Jack was awake through the whole thing. Afterwards, he discovered he can squeal and he squealed off and on all morning. I honestly didn't think this day would ever get here. I have been anxious for about a week now knowing it was around the corner. In fact, I changed clothes 3 times this morning. I finally found a shirt that I felt comfortable in and we went to get Jack dressed. He was sound asleep in his crib but happy as usual to be up and getting naked. That boy loves to be naked! Once we got him dressed in his adorable bow tie and suspenders, we made it to the kitchen in time to take the call. Right before we got on, he spit up all over my shirt, foot, and the floor! It certainly helped me to realize who cares what I was wearing. It wasn't about me anyway!
Luke and I have prayed so long for a child- I was afraid it wouldn't happen. God in His faithfulness knew we needed Jack as much as he needed us. The Lord blessed us with a wonderful, happy little boy. I have spent the last few days holding him while he slept. I wanted to soak up as much of him as I could. His smells, his smiles, and all that baby goodness. I love that little boy so much!
Judge Cassidy was super sweet on the zoom call. She read our whole file beforehand and even knew our pets names. Kandi's attorney Brent is always so nice. He actually was one that prayed with us at the beginning of last year at an event for Abba Adoption/Abba Charities. He mentioned in our Zoom call how the Lord answers prayers. Yes, He sure does- even when we least expect them- and have no kitchen or countertops! Words can't express how happy it makes me to finally say we have a son. Jack Alan Williams. Bring on Williams party of 3!!!!
