Just over 14 years ago!

On the 18th August 1995 we saw our son's photo for the first time! And boy how our lives have changed!
I remember the day well. It was a cold wet afternoon around 5pm when a woman walked into our childcare centre and asked if I was Ruth and that she was a lawyer! I thought what had I done wrong!
Then she said that she had a birthmother who wanted to place her child with me however there was an issue with the birthfather.
Over the next few weeks we spent a lot of time in Lawyers offices in strangers homes who were fast becoming our family through this amazing process.

This photo was a couple of weeks later like it is now!
He certainly was a wriggler!
He ate well and had horrible nappy rash!
I found his first tooth and we were falling in love!
Keith looked so awkward but was developing his parenting skills and our friends and family were worried that this may fall through!
Well now 14 years ago we are blessed by such a loving family and it still amazes me!
What I know for sure ~ Aiden hates thinking he will miss out on anything!
~ That he does love his sisters more than the guitar!
(he isn't sure about that though)
~that he is more beautiful now than ever!
~ He is talented and will achieve anything he wants!
~ I think he will rock this world
~ Both Keith and I love him beyond belief
and day it gets so much deeper and stronger!

Hugs Ruth

You have done an amazing job with your family - you should be proud of your acheivements.
Aiden is an amazing young man in his own right only made better by the opportunities that you and Keith have given him.
