A New Chapter

It's been months since I've pulled up my blog.

As I pulled it up and looked at the banner picture, I got tears in my eyes. I can't believe how fast time goes by.

Looking at the pictures of my babies is such a reminder of how fast time truly does go by.

I shut my blog down because of Joseph's adoption. Some of you might be aware of that, but some may not.  I felt from the Lord, to shut the blog down until we finished the adoption process and can now say... "It is finished!" Praise God!!

We got Joseph 5 years, 5 months and 15 days ago. It's a good thing God keeps things from us sometimes.

 This was the hovel that he called home. 


                              Here he is with his little brother, just 13 months apart.


                             The first time he slept in our bed or any bed for that matter.


These are pictures from the first day that I met him, and brought him home.

I'll never forget that scared little boy that was put into my truck by his mother, tears streaming down her young cheeks.

I'll never forget, that little boy who cried for days and sat in front of the front door for hours with his back facing all of us. Too scared to let any of us hold him. Too scared to eat. All he could do was cry.

So many years have passed and now he's ours... his heart is ours. He loves us. We're his family. We're his mommy and daddy. Cayden and Chandler are his little brothers. He's such an amazing big brother.

His name was "officially" changed from Jedsada Kunnala to Joseph Clinton Garsee on December 11, 2013.







So now I'm officially back online and I wanted to dedicate this first post to Joseph.

We love you buddy and we're so happy you're in our life.

Love
Mommy

  2. Michelle,

    his little brother is being raised by the great grandmother. We wanted to take him but she wouldn't let us have him. We tried several times over the years to take him. She was/is very attached to the little brother was not attached to Joseph at all.... he was left outside at night like the dogs. If there wasn't enough food, the little brother would get it and Joseph would be left hungry.

    Thank you for reading and thanks for asking.
