    Thanks you guys. We're really blessed. She's such a good natured great kid and the whole process went incredibly smooth and fast. I think our experience adopting a foster kid was unusually trouble/drama free.

    Congratulations to you, sir. :)

    Clean that board! :p

    Seriously speaking... may I ask, and if it is not too personal, if you have other children of your own or why you chose to adopt?

    Swoly, I have a much older daughter who is not the biological child of my wife. She lives with us. We chose to be foster parents and adopt because because there is a great need for good foster/adoptive familes.
