While my sister, brother-in-law and their son had several foster children come through their home, it was Joey who stole their hearts with his warmth, energy and smile. Joey’s familial story is tragic and so it wasn’t long before my sister’s family started dreaming about adopting Joey.
It’s been a long road and Joey’s been a part of our family since the first day but on Friday, July 21, he legally joined our family.
I’m sure my sister and brother-in-law anxiously anticipate the day Joey starts asking questions about his biological family but for the moment, they (and we) are on top of the world!
Jackie, Ryan and Isaac, congrats! Joey, welcome!
