I'm going to be an aunt again! (in a more unconventional way...)

One of my brothers and SIL found out a few years ago that they are unable to have children, so they started the (long) process of adopting through the county system. We just found out they are adopting a little 2 1/2 year old boy at the end of the month!!

This boy has been through a lot, and he is finally going home to a loving family, complete with 10 aunts & uncles, 6 cousins and 3 grandparents!!! Not to mention 2 furry sisters and 5 furry aunties & uncles...

Oh that is just wonderful! Congrats to everyone.

My dd has 2 friends, who were adopted through "the system" a few years back. I am fairly familiar with all your brother and SIL had to go through to get their boy!

Best wishes and thanks for sharing!

you guys are so funny! I didn't even think of that...

Thanks everyone! My brother & SIL met with him at the park today, their second time meeting him, and I guess he didn't want to leave when it was time to go...

Here he is:





He has a beautiful smile! I just can't wait to meet him.

I'm very happy for your brother & SIL, and even happier for their new son. I hope they have a life-time of happiness. Hope the rest of the process goes smoothly for them.

Congrats to you and your entire family! Most most congrats go to that sweet boy! I was adopted through a state adoption at 5 months. My parents couldn't have children either, so when they got me they named me Hope (the child they always "hoped" for). I knew, growing up, they they had chosen me. It is a very special feeling.

In fact, I had two birthdays really. My actual birthday in October, then my "Homecoming Day", which is when my parents brought me home on March 11th. That one was more of a family celebration but in a way it meant more to me than my actual birthday. Honestly, I couldn't ask for better parents than I got.

Your new nephew and your brother and SIL are so lucky to have found each other.
