Fatherhood

Hey there followers I know its been a while since I have written anything. part of it has been I just have not had much to say, and the other part of it is that I am about to officially become a father. My wife and I will adopt a nine year old boy on Wednesday. His name is Lane. His new name will be Lane Thomas Selvey. He has been living with us since December 18th of last year. I have fallen in love with him, with being a dad, and with having a family. Its an amazing feeling that I can barely find words to describe. Our adoption experience has been bittersweet but in the end so fulfilling and enriching. Our church family has been so wonderful in embracing him, and us as adoptive parents. The saying that it takes a village is so true. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful church family along side of us. Our biological families have been so supportive as well. Lane is so thrilled to have a grandpa and grandma its so cool to see him with them. Amazing! Other than that I am a student again, studying retail management and hope to work in category management to sales analysis when I am done. Life is good, but hard at the same time. Dealing with defiance from a 9 year old that is mine and not somebody elses is a lot harder than when you can send them home if need be. But my wife and I having been dealing with it pretty well. Its an adventure to be sure, but I would not trade it for anything I love being a dad!
