November 17th 2007 the Nelsons celebrated National Adoption Day. (No, we did not adopt another child.) However, as some know, Taylor has been volunteering to work for underpriviledged families who want to adopt but cannot afford a lawyer. (We are so proud of him.) Well...today, on national adoption day, his family's adoption went through and we all tagged along to court with him. Well... Sheri, Abby, and Parker didn't witness the proceedings, but rest assured we were extremely supportive from outside the court room door.
I have to tell you, there is nothing like seeing a new family coming out of the courtroom with smiles on their faces. One family we saw while we were waiting adopted 5 children. In addition, many of the children getting adopted were older and getting their family for the first time. To see their faces was a truly amazing (not to mention tear-jerking) experience.We would like to say congratulations to Taylors family, the Gruerra Family! (Their new daughter is shown on the left.)

That is SO awesome!!! Congrats Taylor and family.
Sheri! I found you! And your blog is so cute! I've missed you and your cute kids.
We just had some really good friend adopt their second baby...and I went to their 'gotcha' party on the year anniversary for their first...seriously tear jerking.
Happy Thanksgiving!
