The Ormeo Family & Photography

Today is a new beginning for the Ormeo Family.  Enzo is officially an Ormeo!

We’re done!  woohoo!  *yay*  Thank for you Lord, I can’t believe we’re done and we can just be a normal family.  No more workers, no more home visits, no more paper work…at least until the next one. *wink*

It’s been a long time since we started praying for another child.  Nine years.  But it’s been two years since we first told our families about our desire to adopt.  Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined my family this way. 

When we first got married I always said I wanted to adopt, but I never thought it would happen.  I remember searching on the internet about adoptions and it would always be about international adoptions and high costs and no guarantees.  There was no way in my mind that we would even get close to that.  Years later, here we are.  When God has plans, He just drops them in your lap.

The actual court hearing was so short but being put on the spot and having to answer a bunch of questions, made it feel like it was never gonna end.  The attorney and the judge were both really nice, and it was very laid back.  It wasn’t as intimidating as I had imagined.  But what was I expecting?  They wanted the finalization to happen just as much as we did.

People say Enzo’s lucky to have a family like us.  But really it’s the other way around, we’re lucky to have another son.  We’ve been tremendously blessed with Enzo and we all know we don’t deserve him.  But God is good, and gives good things to his children…

So here we are…welcome to the family, Enzo Jacob Ormeo.
