I woke up to the most fabulous message from our case worker... After 8 months and many prayers...He is ours!!!
I want to officially introduce you to OUR SON!!!

Jace Webster Robnett
(after a lot of prayer we decided to change his name from what his birth mom gave him to this)
I love that we can finally share his little face.
Isn't he just the cutest?!!!
I will be honest... When we got the phone call in October asking us to take Jace... I was pretty unsure. I was over whelmed with two newborns. The last think I expected, or even wanted, was a toddler. I had so many concerns. What would people say? Could I handle another baby? What happens when we fall in love and he goes back to his (then) mother... But both Jeff and I knew we could not say no. He was Storrie and Jett's bio brother.. The lawyers in his case and even the judge would not of taken no for a answer anyways..lol.
The first months where not easy... Our family grew by three within six weeks...Storrie had a difficult time adjusting at first and was not a big fan at all. ha! I was worn out caring for two newborns and a two year old. But within a few months we just got into the swing of things.
Everyday, no matter how much I tried to guard my heart, i fell more in love with this boy. Storrie and started to became close.. Thankfully now they love each other so very much.
Thankfully Jace adjusted really well.
I lived in fear of losing him, at the same time praying for his birth mother to get her life together and be able to parent him... It was a strange mix of emotions and had me in emotional turmoil all the time.
Then it became apparent that she was not going to finish the plan that CPS had laid out and was not going to be able to parent him... Again a strange mix of emotions... So sad for her and her loss. I seriously grieve for her and her family. But then a joy beyond words that the boy that we all love so much would be ours. Our son.
My sweet Jace...
You are exactly what our family needed. And even though I did not know it at the time, you are exactly what my heart needed. You are the sweetest, most loving little boy. Not to mention the strongest. From the little that we know of what you went through the first year and a half of your life, somehow you came out of it and kept the most pure heart. You are so snuggly and happy all the time. You hardly ever cry and you just love people (and they love you)
Your Daddy and I are so in love with you. Your brothers and sisters totally adore you. You my sweet boy are loved beyond words.
Love you baby,
Momma
