Kent and Kayla's Wonderful Life: March 2012

Later in February, on February 24^th, Kent and I got to take Kyson to the Matheson Courthouse where we finalized our adoption! It was such an exciting day! Ki, Jaynie, Carley, and Joey all came to support us on our big day. Our judge, L. A. Dever, was great. And we love our lawyer, Babata! We had been looking forward to that day for six months, and it was so great to finally be there! Kyson is legally ours!

Our handsome man!

Just over a week later, on March 3^rd, we entered the Jordan River Temple to be sealed to Kyson for time and all eternity. It was the happiest day of our lives so far! My mom got to dress in white and bring Kyson to us at the altar. Words will never be sufficient to describe the joy and the emotions and the spirit that we felt as our son was sealed to us. I will forever remember that day! Kyson was perfect—such a joy and so happy there with us. Just like when we were at court, he literally seemed to be listening to every word, cooing softly in agreement at just the right times for it to be adorable and not at all interrupting. He is eternally our son! He has always been ours, but it is amazing how now it feels so complete.

We had so many family members and friends that were able to be at the Temple and at the luncheon afterward to support our little family. It was so great to be able to share this special day with so many loved ones. And our birth mother, H, her fiancé, and her parents were also able to be in the Temple with us! What a rare and special experience that was! We are so grateful for her and proud of her!

His sealing day was such a big day, we wore him completely out. He slept through almost the entire luncheon! Sweetheart!

We got to bless Kyson at Church the next day, March 4^th, in our ward. What was really cool was that Cohen was also blessed in our ward that day. So Kyson and Cohen got to share their blessing day together! What a special day for both of them!

We are so grateful for our dear son. He is so special and so loved. We look forward to taking our future adopted children to the Temple as well. What a privilege it is to enter the House of the Lord to be sealed together forever. Truly, sealed with love.
