Adoption of Layton

The best and most wonderful event that took place in 2011, and we had lots of great happenings, was the adoption of our wonderful son Layton James! We got Layton on March 27, 2011 at about 1:30 in the morning. It was snowing outside and he was only wearing a onesis and snow coat. He was so cute, and you could tell he was wondering where the heck he was at! But he was so content and easy going. We were hoping from day one, he would be with us forever. We have had between 10-15 kids in our home who have been placed in Foster Care, and we have never been so in love with such a little guy! We are truely blessed to have this sweet spirit in our home. We attended a few court dates to get things in line to finally adopt him. On December 15, 2011 we went to our final court date and got the adoption officially done. On December 17, 2011 we were able to have a very sweet experience and have him sealed to our family for "time and all Eternity" and all of my children were able to be present in the sealing room. They all came in the room dressed in white and literally looked like angels. It was so darling to see all my children in the Temple with Travis and I. We had some family and a couple of friends present. Roger & LeAnn, James & Amber, Nantalie and Debbie Kinghorn were able to attend and we greatly appreciate thier support. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we are so blessed and happy to have a knowledge that we are sealed together Forever as Families. We reconize that we are a family in the hereafter, and that "death do us part" is not the end, we are together for "time & all eternity". We get to be families in the Eternities! We love Layton dearly and we are so happy to have added another spirit to our AMAZING family!!
