Although Juan still has a month until online high school graduation and West Mec graduation, we are officially "empty nesters"! Juan had planned to move out after graduation but received an opportunity to move into an apartment with a friend from the football team. He still has some belongings to come pick up but is settled in his new home. He is busy still working at his assistive living job at La Loma as a cook and recently purchased his own used car. We are proud of him for his hard work at La Loma and truly want all of our adult children to just be happy and live their best adult lives.
Our adoption and parenting journey was not what we pictured it would be and there was so much we were unprepared for. In the end, it truly was a journey of blessings and challenges. We want to continue supporting, guiding, loving, and communicating with each of our kids but ultimately it is their life now to live. We went into adoption saying we wanted to provide a forever family to a sibling group and to give them a better life than they currently had. We hope as everyone matures, our relationship with each one will continue and grow.
