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.
Woopeee! Now you can all just be joyful knowing that this gift God gave all of you is wrapped up legally! May this day be as good as the first day you met each other, full of love and tears.
THANKS for brightening our day with big hearted news and pictures!
God’s Blessings always
Congrats old FRiend! This is wonderful news!!!!
When our adoption was totally final and we received the paperwork, our son was so relieved. I could just see it on his face. I said...it was never in question...he said I just want the paperwork done. By that time he was 15 and understood maybe more than I did at the time.
He has one boy and is the best Dad I know.
Thanks for letting us know this great news.....
Congratulations! and the Blessings of Our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you for your loving attention to His (and now Your) children!
That pic of your children and the judge is just great. So is the family pic....
How lucky you all are.
God bless you and the missus for your generous loving hearts. May he also continue to bless Nick and Amber! Congrats!
I have been gone many weeks but want to thank you for pinging me to the news of Amber and Nick and your wonderful family! May God continue to bless you all.
As an adoptee (3 months) married to an adoptee (9 years) we both congratulate you and wish you much happiness.
Congratulations! We adopted a baby girl 25 years ago. It’s God that makes a family in different ways. May many blessings flow your way!
Congratulations!
What a lovely family!
You are truly blessed.
Congratulations and may God bless your family richly!
Thanks for sharing this with me,G.
Beautiful family.
They are 15 and 16 now...frightening how quickly time flies.

what a wonderful day for your beautiful family!
Yes and they have "new" brothers and sisters, sister 45, brother and sister ages 41 and brother age 40. Our oldest daughter takes great delight in introducing her new siblings to friends as her brother and sister.
Indeed it was. Thank you.
That’s wonderful! Happy family... blessings to all.
