Our little miracle

To those of our friends who have not heard much about Archie this is for you. He turned two at the end of March and is Alaska Native from Kotzebue, AK. We found out about him on December 20, 2013. It was a Friday morning and right away we knew we were interested. It turned out to be a very quick placement as he was on the plane the next morning. When we came to meet him the very first time we knew we wanted to take him home. We did not have much information and the adoption process being new to us we did not know what to expect. It has been a bit of a bumpy ride but has all come together. The adoption has been finalized through his tribe which is recognized by the state. We are just waiting on his updated birth certificate.
He is such a cute, smiley little guy.  From the first day we could see that this was a special boy and fell in love. He was the best Christmas present anyone could ask for. We had a wonderful family Christmas together. He enjoyed all the gifts and the food. He is very easy going and good natured about most things. He likes to eat and goes to sleep no problem 95% of the time. He likes to look at books, throw balls, ride toys around the house, play outside, ride on the snow machine with Dad, take a bath and go to Nursery at church. He likes babies--his little cousin he sees each week and enjoys making him laugh. He is a tough little guy and sometimes does not realize his own strength! He is very smart and picks up on things quickly. He is very loving and likes to cuddle or give hugs with a little pat on the back to show he cares. He is great a blowing kisses and is now starting to say Love You back. We are very blessed to have him in our home as our son. He has made us a family and changed our lives for good. It was a long road to find him but I am here to say that prayers do get answered. It was all in God's timing and it gave us a beautiful boy to call our own. We love him so much and enjoy him more and more every day.
