Yeah so...my wife and I put in formal papers to adopt the 8 year old we've been seeing on the weekends for the past year.
I'm pretty stoked...and completely terrified. Funny feeling.
He's such a good kid and we know that with a stable home and people around him he is going to blossom. He's already a math genius - though not so good at reading/writing cos he's been on and off schools for a bit. he remembers everything I say - to the point that if I contradict myslef from one week to the next - he will call me out on it.
We've been talking about it for several months now and after seeing him get moved from home to home and school to school we decided that it was the right time.
I've just been riding my bike in the beautiful colorado fall thinking about how rad it's going to be, and how much our lives are going to change.
Anyone here with kids that age that can offer some good advice?
