To Katie and Drew


Today, these two incredible young people bravely signed the paperwork that made Noah Atticus our son.


Their first good look at Noah, only moments after his birth
His first bottle
 Katie and Drew, we love you more than words can say.  Our family and friends around the country are praying for you and sending their love.

Thank you.  Thank you for our son.

    I know I am a geek but I have looked at your blog like 12 times today and every time am close to tears. I think what Katie and Drew have done is one of the most selfless things. Noah is lucky to be loved by so many. They were wise to choose you, that beautiful boy will grow up having such a wonderful and happy life as part of your darling little family! xoxo

    He's gonna be a cutie, whether he looks more like his mom or his dad. They're both cuties, so he has no choice. :) And I can say they're cuties, because I'm old. So there.

    Katie & Drew: You two have made such a difficult decision. Thank you so much for your selflessness, love and support of each other, and communication with Rachel and Ryan. Words cannot express the gratitude felt for each of you.
    Your names have been on my mind frequently for months and on my lips during prayer this past week.
