My God, I remember when you were such a little pain in the butt and now you are grown, married and have a baby. God Bless the three of you. I was so happy to hear that you and your wife had made such an unselfish decision and adopted a baby that was in need of love. It takes a huge heart and a couple full of love to do what you two have down and I am proud to know you and hopefully your wife and baby someday some. I only wish there where more people like you two in this world. There are so many children that need loving parents like the two of you. I am glad to see that you grew into a man any one would be proud to call son, brother, husband or friend. And I don't think you could have a prouder sister that thinks the world of you and loves you and your new family more than Dena. I realize it probably is a shock to hear from someone you haven't seen in about 19 years - but Dena keeps me updated on the family. You take care and extend my love to your new family. Larry.

Denise and Shawn, congratulations on receiving Shawn today. It's a magical feeling, enjoy it. Also, enjoy your time in Bogota! I was in the airport in Newark yesterday when you were flying out (I presume) but wasn't able to get over to that side of the terminal to wish you well. Maybe I can catch you there on your return.

Born not from your flesh but born in your hearts. Shawn was longed for and wanted and loved from the start. Conceived from a blessing sent straight from above, your very own son at last home to love.

Congratulations! And many blessings to your family.

Shawn and Denise....Isn't it the most amazing feeling to hold your baby and gaze into their face for the first time. It is love at first sight...even more than you thought you could ever have. We are very glad to hear that you arrived safely and that things are going well. I am DYING to see new pictures...I wish I could help you with the camera, but I haven't figured out mine yet. I love you all dearly. Megan and Joshua cannot wait to see the new baby. And, even though those sleepless nights seem LOOOOONNGGGGG and drawn out, enjoy each moment of them because they pass all too quickly. I'll be checking in frequently. LOVE YOU!!! XOXOXOXO Aunt Deen, Megan and Joshua

Denise and Shawn,

I sit here with tears in my eyes for you both. I'm so glad this day finally came for you. You two will be the best parents and I can't wait to meet your new baby. That little boy doesn't even know how lucky he is yet that he was your chosen heart.

Shawn's got his pitcher for his little league team. :)

Love you both,

Justine (and Bob is happy for you too!!!)
