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.

Great news, Graybeard! Congratulations to you, Mrs. Graybeard, Nick and Amber! A great responsibility to undertake and I know you will discharge it admirably! All the best, and God Bless you and your family!

Praise the Lord!

Amber, Nick...y'all drink up as much of the wisdom from Graybeard as you can. I know I do. Best wishes to your wonderful family. And never forget, a happy Momma Graybeard makes for good eatin'! (leastways, it is in my house...hehe)

May God continue to Bless you all.

In 1980 we adopted a brother and sister ages 10 and 12. What fun we had!!!! We asked them what they wanted and they said they wanted a dog. So we adopted a dog, Bowsie-doggie, named after Bowser of Sha-na-na, right out of the back of the pound truck. He was black and white Schnauzer and poodle with a curly tail. The hair on the top of his head was peppercorn salt and pepper looking. If you stared at Bowsie he would roll his eyes back in his head and look just like Don King the boxing promoter. The kids were such a blessing. It makes me cry for joy just to think of them.

So many wonderful memories. We took Bowsie to the vet and he begged us to adopt a puppy instead of this dog so old the vet couldn't tell how old he was. But the kids wanted Bowsie and he lasted until they were through high school.

Now they are grown with families of their own.
