Forever our son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





It's official!!!!!!!! Our court appointment went great! We are so grateful for everything the Lord has done to bring us to this day. To Him be the glory! We won't ever forget this special day and how much it means in our lives. Hudson charmed the judge. We were blessed with a court that loves to do adoption hearings. At the end of the judge's ruling, he had a stuffed animal ready to give to Hudson. On the stuffed animal was a little beaded colar with Hudson's name in beads. It was so special. We called the girls and they all screamed into the phone! Praise the Lord with us for our son!!!!!!
