Adoption

Cayden,
I can't begin to tell you how happy I am. On August 17, 2010 your adoption was finalized in front of a very nice judge--who as you said "wears a black dress looking thing"-- who let mommy know how lucky she is to have such wonderful men in my live (you and daddy). I am SO grateful to have you in my life. You are my sunshine. You are what keeps me going and makes me smile. You are everything I have dreamed about for so long!

Papa was able to come and you sat with him most of the time and colored. You weren't very good at being quiet --no surprsies there-- and since everything was being recorded you needed to be.

I want you to know that without the love of your birth mother Jordan there is no way this would have been possible. You need to know that she loves you very much and in allowing me to adopt you she has fully shown that love. I hope that you will always show her the respect that she deserves. She is a wonderful person with a good heart. Life hasn't been easy for her and it breaks my heart that she has heart ache because of the situation. I will always and forever tell you about her, her love for you, and the great gift that she has given me.

Love Mommy
