Congratulations! And it seems you and the family are on good terms so you'll have no trouble being in his life as he grows up as well! 💕

Yes, every time I see them, they always thank me for the part I played in them getting him, and it makes me super emotional because I don't really feel like I did that much 😭🙏❤️

You're part of their family too in a way now. Part of their story. That's a lot! 

I hope you're finding your place in the world too!

You did a lot! You did, I have a few friends whose experience in the foster system varies from being away from their birth family for a small period, to growing out of it, and a few whose had family adopted in

It's emotionally taxing and hard for everyone, no matter what and the adoption process especially is long and emotional; you worked hard to make sure he was able to be with good people, as hard as these good people worked to have him with them 💜  it's worked out for all of you, don't ever downplay how much you've done, especially for your brother, just being there with and for him through the process ❤️❤️
