Though he was not due until February 12th, we knew he'd likely be early. However, I was not prepared for the call I received from his birth mother on the morning of January 24, 2007 letting me know the baby was coming that day!
This was wonderful and exciting news, though a little concerning. Since this adoption opportunity had transpired so suddenly, we were still in the midst of much paperwork with the agency and there was some concern as to whether or not we'd get to take him home if he came early. Thankfully everyone we worked with was wonderful and we were able to complete the process in record time (literally - they told us at the agency it was the fastest one they'd ever done).
I called Jeremiah at work and told him we needed to get on our way to Cedar City to see the birth of our son! We worried we wouldn't make it in time to see him enter the world, but we did make it there with an hour or so to spare. I was even given the awesome job of cutting the cord when he was born!
(I could go on and on with the pictures, but I don't have access to all my photo history at the moment, anyway, so I will stop here for now....)
We are forever grateful to Tarah for allowing us to welcome Isaiah into our family through the awesome process of adoption. She is so special to us.
Isaiah has added immense joy to our lives over the course of the past two years. I can't believe my little guy is such a big boy now who can do so many things. He makes me laugh each and every day. I love being his mom.
