At Home

May 20, 2022

Pilgrim has been home a little over one month. He is doing well.

We met him on February 4 and we brought him home on April 4. We were in Boise exactly 2 months. God has been very kind to us.

Pilgrim is growing big (he is over 11lbs).

About the second week back, Kate got a cold (mostly a cough). Pilgrim got it the next week. He actually handled it quite well. We did have to figure out how to help get boogers out of his nose so he could breath properly. We are thankful that Pilgrim recovered well from the cold.

On the adoption side, Pilgrim's birthmother terminated her rights back in February so that part is done. Pilgrim is currently under the legal guardianship of our adoption agency and we are his primary caregivers. The agency will turn over legal rights to us in a couple of months (that is called finalizing the adoption). They like to do two post-placement visits with us to make sure everything is going well (we did this same process with Epiphany). We did one visit back in April when we were discharged from the hospital. We will have our second visit in the next month or so. After that, we can go to court and finalize the adoption.

We appreciate prayers for the finalization process to go smoothly.

We are doing well getting settled into being a family of four. Epiphany is almost done with the year as a third grader and Jesse is about done with classes. We are looking forward to getting the summer started.
