Have totally neglected this blog!

Oh how our lives have changed since I posted to this blog nearly a year ago. Brodie is two and a half and the most wonderful little guy. He was placed with us full time as foster child 11/30/09 and we have enjoyed every single minute since then. He adjusted very fast to my entire family & they are as much in love with him as Gary and I are. August 20th we signed the Adoption Placement Agreement meaning that he is no longer a foster child but our adoptive child. At this point we can legally start calling him Brodie, which we have been doing for the past year anyway. The next step in the process is to meet with our adoption attorney and sign the Petition for Adoption that has to be filed with the court system. I'm patiently waiting for a packet of paperwork to arrive from the attorney. Once the attorney files it there is a mandatory 30 day waiting period before a court date can be set for the adoption hearing.
