Introducing...

Gabriel
Gordon
Pope
for real, for real.

It's official.

He's ours.

All the papers are signed, all the petitions are filed.

A new start.

Born again on my birthday!

I asked Gabe if he was happy to be a real Pope and I'm not sure, but I think this means yes!


Today is his big heart procedure, but after that is behind us we are going to spend some time celebrating our new boy!

Three cheers to another happy ending!  




Be back next week with all the Adoption Day fun!

Congratulations to the entire Pope family on Gabe's finalized adoption!

Thinking about you and Gabe today. I hope everything goes smoothly with the heart cath procedure.

Also, I am not sure if you have read the adoption blog Millions of Miles, but it's one of my favorites. She interviewed Willie Garson, who adopted his son from foster care. Thought you might be interested in reading the interviewas well. I thought it provided a balanced view of adoption and some insight on celebrity adoptions.
