The Finish Line

I can't believe we made it. Joseph, Joshua and Nathaniel are finally ours!!!

December 13th, 2011 we went before a judge and officially made those boys Nuckolls'. The whole thing took ten minutes and the judge started early so half of our support group missed it. It feels wonderful to be free now. Free from the eyes of the state social workers looking over our shoulders. The moment we walked out of that courtroom I felt like their mom.

18 months have gone by since those boys first came into our lives and it has been a crazy ride. If the fact that they have been adopted for 2 weeks now and this the first time I have been able to write about it is any indication of how busy things are around here then you can feel my pain.

I can't ever hold a thought long enough in my head to write a descent post. Praise be to God for all that He has done for us and all that He has brought us through.
