Adoption Roller Coaster Ride Part 3: Seatbelts Fastened and Engine Started

On April 28th, we headed to Macon, Ga, as a family of three and returned that night as a family of four! It is still hard to believe that Zeke is here to stay! The waiting time leading up to the Zekecoaster seemed slow, but once we boarded the ride in April it seemed fast! There was so much to accomplish in such a short amount of time that we didn't feel we had time to think or blink. BOOM! There is was! Adoption Placement Day arrived! Uncertainty turned to certainty! Eli was excited along with us to have Baby Brother home.

We arrived at Covenant Care a little before 1:00. My mom, Eric's parents, my brother Jeff and his family, and my cousin Kelli drove down to join the welcome celebration of Zeke! (Thank you, Kelli and Jeff, for capturing the day on camera and video!)

Eli had a chance to run around outside before heading inside for the big event!


After taking some pictures by the sign and letting E play for a while, it was time to head inside. That's when reality started to set in!
