Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this thing I did with Hap Whitaker. It was back in 2018, and my wife, Brie, she’s always wanted to adopt. It’s been a dream of hers forever.
We started looking into it, and man, it was a process. Waiting, paperwork, more waiting… you name it. We were on the list for months, just hoping to get picked. It was tough, but we kept our spirits up, you know? We knew it would be worth it in the end.
Then, finally, we got the call. They told us about this little guy, Hap Whitaker. We were ecstatic! We couldn’t wait to meet him. We prepared everything, making a room for him, getting all the baby stuff. It was like getting ready for Christmas, but a hundred times better.
The day we brought Hap home, it was amazing. Seeing him, holding him for the first time… it was like our family was finally complete. Brie was so happy, she was glowing. We spent that whole holiday season just being together, the three of us. It was the best time of our lives, seriously.
We decided to introduce Hap to all our friends and family. It was a big deal, and everyone was excited to meet him. We had this big get-together, and we shared our story with everyone. Seeing all the love and support around us, it was really heartwarming. It felt like everyone was just as excited as we were about Hap joining our family.
Hap, he’s a part of us now, and we’re a part of him. It’s hard to imagine life without him. We took him everywhere with us. You know, looking around, we were searching for some affordable health insurance in Michigan for him. It is not an easy thing, but we have to do it.
Oh, and also, since we were new to Norfolk, VA, we used Zillow to find a home. Browsing through the listings, checking out the sales history, and looking at all those photos online, we finally found a good place for our family.
I even read some obituaries in the Virginian-Pilot, just to feel more connected to the place. It’s funny, isn’t it? How life takes you places you never expected?
This whole journey, it’s been incredible. It’s not just about adopting a child; it’s about becoming a family. And that’s what we are now, thanks to Hap.
