Boston’s finalization

With the help of Premier Adoption Agency, our family was blessed with a Christmas miracle. We received a call the afternoon that our son was born letting us know that there was a baby born in Reno, NV and that he was ours. Isabel was so excited for our family!

Congratulations to the “O” family!

This sweet baby boy was the perfect Christmas present for the “O” family. Here are their words: Hello, All! Eric and I have returned to Chicago (yesterday!) after two weeks in Las Vegas, Nevada.
