Taylor (3)
Narrated by Neil Chalmers
Brianna and I have been doing well in our marriage and in raising our daughter Taylor. Because of this we have been tossing back and forth the idea of actually adopting another baby. Brianna was excited when I approached her regarding adoption. She thought it was a great idea and would schedule an appointment with the family planning social worker.
We had our interview and it went well. The social worker was happy to see that we were willing to open up our home to a child in need.
"Do you think the interview went well Neil?"
"I do. We just have to be patient. Before we know it we will have the answer"
We both were nervous about getting approval and about actually receiving another baby.
I would get home and play with Taylor. When she would nap I would read the paper or find some other things to do.
Meanwhile Brianna focused on her career. She figured that she should get promoted while she had the time to work at home. Taylor was almost 5 and now kept herself occupied with hew new toys.
It seemed that it happened from one day to the next. At first the counselor came over to tell us we were approved. Next thing I knew we were getting a baby sooner than we expected.
Our baby boy was brought to us and he was as beautiful as Taylor was when we received her. We paid the adoption fee of $5,000 and decided to name him Isaiah.
My family felt complete. Finally we were able to have a boy and a little girl. Brianna and I right away took some family pictures.
For now they are going to share a room. We have to fix the rooms upstairs for the ourselves or put Taylor on the third floor. For now I am just happy getting them both to sleep.
We had a barbecue to introduce Isaiah to the rest of our extended family. the barbecue was a success and everyone had tons of fun. It felt nice to have the family come over.
Before we knew it Isaiah turned one and he was active as ever. He wanted to learn to crawl and basically put his hands on everything. We didnt allow him to do much damage. I still cant wait until we can play b-ball together.
Yep we are doing find in our marriage and our family is doing great.
