Yesterday, June 11th, was the one year anniversary of our adopting four of my brothers. We played kiddy golf and went out for ice cream to celebrate.
One year ago yesterday we went downtown to the courthouse and children piled over adults because there weren't enough chairs, and the heavy lawyer asked questions and the judge looked relieved to have a simple, happy case to deal with. Then we went out to lunch at a fun pizza serving restaurant with the pastor and his family. The next Saturday we had a huge party- cake, balloons, relatives... And four baptisms. The next Sunday, the boys were finally able to partake of the bread and wine, instead of being excluded. The imagery was beautiful. The parellel of being adopted by us and of being adopted by God, and of the symbols (new middle names and baptism).
