Introducing... Daniel Josiah Herbe! We finalized our adoption on May 1st, 2017. 
We are Thrilled.
Before I show you some of the photos from the adoption.. lets take a look at our year with him. Pictures I couldn't previously post. Now I can share them!
At the hospital NICU during our overnight visit.
`
Headed to our house.. his home..unknowingly his forever home.
A happy joyful little guy. Growing big and strong. Slight delays... but nothing uncommon for a preemie.
We are so blessed to be a part of our church family here. They really "showed up" for us, whether physically or in spirit over the course of the year. Through childcare, help at home, encouragement, friendship, and just loving on our Danny Bear despite his unknowns. This is a happy ending for Danny. He didn't just gain OUR family. He gained a whole church family as well. We are so excited to see Danny grow up in his "home town". We are excited to stick around here and be a part of this community. I am nervous but thrilled to navigate getting to know biofam if possible.
We are sad to miss out on the chance to have a relationship with biomom, but God has been kind in so many ways. He'll take care of Danny. He'll help him through that loss when the time comes to learn about it. I have no doubts about his love for him.
