Today at the Tazewell County Court House in Pekin, Illinois, our adoption of our children became final. They are Amber Agee and Nick Agee, ages 13 and 12 respectively.
Amber and Nick are sister and brother and have been in our care for about 4 years and we have been actively pursuing this adoption for the past two years.
Rejoice with us. God is truly wonderful!
Our new children will be reading the comments.
I'm pinging a few hundred of my close friends, if I omitted anyone it was unintentional. If you're pinged more than once, get over it. Just kidding, I'll never make another massive ping like this again.
But, you may be most familiar with the song "One Love", currently featured in the Jamaica Tourist Board television advertisements.
It goes like this:One Love!
One Heart!
Let's get together and feel alright.
This is outstanding.
One of my dearest friends and his wife are in the final stages right now of adopting three siblings, ages five, four, and two. Just waiting for the final paperwork to clear.
What an amazing blessing!
CONGRATULATIONS on your new additions. Congrats Nick and Amber! What a wonderful earthly example of the love of our Heavenly Father to adopt us into His family!
Best wishes, congrats and love to all of you from Minnesota!
May God always bless your precious family.
My very best wishes to you all. I know from experience that adopted children are truly special. Almost anyone can have children. It takes very special people to CHOSE children.
God bless you all.
Congrats!
How wonderful!!! As the adopted mother of a 13 year old, I salute the whole family.
Congratulations! That’s a good looking family you have there, Graybeard!
To Nick and Amber... Congratulations to you two, also. I hope you have many happy years ahead as a family.
God Bless you all!
Just a list of names I put together of people I know or have respected their comments in the past and the list is by no means exclusive or exhaustive, they didn't asked to be pinged and I won't be pinging them again. I'm not aware of any "adoption ping list".
If there is one or if you want to start one, I'd be happy to be on it.
There's just no way I could have included everyone I know and/or admire at F.R. My old memory would never allow it.

Please give me the contact in for the female in the last pic. GTV. Would like to meet her.
Children by adoption into the bosom of Abraham.

May God bless you all.
Congratulations! God Bless You and Your Family!
Amber is cool too, but I couldn’t read her shirt!
How wonderful and exciting for your whole family. God bless you all.
yeah my kids think Bob Marley is cool too.
I think he’s not cool, but my kids don’t agree.
What great news! Congratulations to all of you. You’ve got a fine looking family — really cute kids.
