.::.Forever Officially Ours.::. What a journey this has been‼️
On March 15th, 2023, we welcomed our baby girl into our lives at just 6 months old. And then on October 6th, 2023, her baby brother entered our world at only 9 days old. Since then, she’s been with us for 1,161 days and he’s been with us for 956 days—and every single moment has changed our lives forever.
From the parent visits, court dates, paperwork, home studies, phone calls, waiting seasons, emotional days, and everything in between… it was ALL worth it.
Watching them grow, laugh, learn, heal, love, and simply be kids has been one of the greatest blessings we could have ever prayed for. They made us parents in the most beautiful way possible.
And now… Adoption Day is finally HERE. 🥹🎉
God truly knew what He was doing when He brought our family together. As the song says, “Something good is happening to me.” And that’s exactly what this love, this journey, and this moment feels like.
This isn’t just paperwork becoming official.
This is family.
This is forever.
This is love in its purest form.
Our babies are HOME. ❤️🏡✨

RoperHawthorne 4 in FULL FORCE as of 5/19/26.
Be prepared to be sick-uh-us!!!
