Beautiful quote. Beautiful family.
I love seeing Steevenson’s whole, precious face. Has anyone ever told you that he has such a grownup face? 🙂 What a handsome young man! I can hardly wait to see the homecoming pictures.
Blessings to you all while you “nest” and wait.
I love love love this family. Could not be more thrilled for this beautiful addition!!
Everything about this picture is beautiful, you have everything now and I’m so happy for you because you have shared it with us followers along the way. So with tears of joy in my eyes for you I wish you every blessing on this St. Patrick’s Day with hugs and best wishes from Ireland..
Best picture ever!
I had to write & say…Kevin & Steevenson look like each other in a way. It’s their smiles & eye expression. God does wonderful things. So happy for all of you. I love following your story!
No wonder you fell in love with this precious little boy. You are all blessed to have each other. Congratulations and wishing you many years of happiness and blessings for your new family of 3.
I’ll bet you anything this boy will have an “old soul.” Can’t wait to see him at home!
Love this so much!
Spoken like a true and loving wife and “boy mom”. It’s SO FUN to see Steevenson’s smiling face..ALL of it! 🙂
so. very. sweet.
I hope you think this is a cute as I did…. when I scrolled past the photo of your guys there was an ad just below it for orange juice with the words “freshly squeezed”.
… hopefully you will share those “freshly squeezed” homecoming photos with us!
I love reading about/seeing how the Palmers love!
Sweet.
I am so glad you decided to keep Steevenson’s given name, for the history and heritage that is attached to it. I know it’s a decision that all adoptive parents are faced with, I know most adoption handling agencies have their opinions, but really it’s ultimately up to you and your family. We have experience with this decision and the outcome, and can say that at least in our case our children appreciate having done that.
We have adopted all 4 of our children and retained 3 out of 4 their given first names, the 4th was a difficult mouthful with our family surname(s) but we did go with the 2nd letter to at least try to honour the original, and selected a Gaelic name the same as his 2 brothers. Each of their middle names and last names contain my husband’s and my surnames – that way each of them have a name that is given to them by their birth mother, me and my husband… each of the parents who are responsible for who they are.
Congrats , new to your blog, but loved the pics of Sonny and especially the footage of the visit to the orphanage and when sonny sprang into yr husband’s embrace , very heartwarming , glad you were able to bring him home!
Best of luck , new parents….he’s a lil cutie!
Saweeeet!!! 😉 When my sister adopted her daughter, she wanted an “A” name like her 3 new brothers. She wanted “Anastasia”. They settled on Alisia, and her original first name became her middle name. Almost 20 years later, I still remember the first time I saw her, and fell in love. Can’t wait for the picture of your family of 3 at HOME!
I saw this on etsy and thought of you since you’re always calling him “Sonny” 🙂 https://www.etsy.com/listing/221999016/vintage-sonny-boys-leather-belt-with?ref=cat_gallery_21&ga_section_id=16668625&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery
Each time that I look at father & son, tears flow. That picture says it all – complete love.
