Got that ever loving call from our lawyer yesterday. We have a court date to finalize Aiden's adoption!!!! December 12th never looked so good to me!!!! I can't wait!! Soon, Yeong Min Gim will be Aiden Lee Lemmons!! He's always been Aiden to us, and when he's getting into trouble sometimes "Aiden Lee!!" But soon he will be known as Aiden Lee Lemmons legally to our insurance company, his doctor office, and the government - God help them! So I'm super stoked about this upcoming event!
He is a very special boy who has changed my life forever and for the better! He's brought so much meaning into my life, I can't really explain it all. The experience of going through his adoption has really opened my eyes and my heart! 4 years ago, I never dreamed how much this would change my life. I have to admit it was a little scary at times, very uncertain others, and the wait was excruciating. But, he's here, been home with us almost 9 months!
God has a way of putting a hand on everything. He certainly had his hand on my heart and helped me see this little boy. Sometimes I just stare at Aiden while he's playing. He'll catch me looking at him and I'll smile. He'll smile the biggest, cutest smile back at me and keep playing. I adore this child so much. For what he's had to go through to find his forever family is truly amazing to me. He has opened his heart and let us be his family, for that, I am truly thankful!
