Brae is legally and totally ours! The ceremony was a grand total of about 5 minutes, so may have been a little anti-climactic, but still so worth it.
I don't know how I expected to feel. I have never thought that Brae was anything but totally ours. I suspected that maybe after the ceremony I'd feel a huge weight off my shoulders. But nothing. Not much really changed in my eyes. In my eyes, he had been ours from the beginning. Although it did cross my mind that we can't give him back now! Not even at 3 am when he's got a fever and crying!
It's amazing to think that God had Brae William Grant planned for us from the very beginning. I believe God has had my life planned out in its grandest scheme since I was formed in my mama's belly. Jeremiah 29:11-13. That plan included Brae. For me and for Tygh.
Looking back at our journey, God had this timing all planned out to His perfection. The month we miscarried, Brae was being formed in Rachael's womb. In October, when we had our second pregnancy loss, Brae was born. How cool is that? It was supposed to be Brae all along. No one else.
I believe God has great things in store for Brae. I feel tremendously honored and privileged to call him my son, and cannot wait to hear him call me "Mommy."
Ecclesiastes 3:11: "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
