An Angel

My daughter-in-law sent me the picture above this morning. Baby Gabriel is an angel. He has been in our family since he was three months old. He is almost two now. His adoption was finalized on 31 December 2012. When he was placed in foster care with my son's family, their first foster child, my son was out of town working. The night he returned, he picked up the baby and was rocking him. My daughter-in-law told him to not get too attached, because it was a temporary, emergency placement. My son looked into the baby's eyes and said something like, "Nope, this baby is ours. He's supposed to be with us." Truly prophetic.

He certainly loves to pose for the camera.
