Up until an hour ago I hadn't talked to my parents about the events of earlier in the week.  I didn't know what to say.  I didn't know their reaction and I desperately needed them to understand how much I love Middle Boy and how I still want to adopt him.

I didn't give my parents enough credit.  To that I owe them an apology.

My mom and dad are so supportive of me in this...of Middle Boy in this.  They are and continue to be excited to have him as a part of our family.  They fell in love with him, too.

I mentioned I was afraid they wouldn't understand.  They said they couldn't be more proud of me for sticking with Middle Boy for my unfailing love for him.  They said it would have been disappointing to them had I chosen to do anything else.  Their blessing matters.

Praises to God for giving me the most incredible parents.  I hope that one day Middle Boy and Younger Boy will be able to look at me and see that I was at least half the parent to them that my parents are to me.
