The Other Side Part 6: Taking Custody

Friday, August 14, 2015  Today we take custody of Tarik, our son, and forever have him leave the foster home where he spent the last year of his life.  The nannies loved him, cared for him, and now, he is being welcomed into our family.  After many days of visitation times with Tarik, we saw him warm up to us, get to know us, and now we are ready to make the move for him to be in our forever custody and constant care.  This day we have waited a very long time to come!  Thanks be to God it's finally here! ...
