Eight-year-old Nike could fill an album with family photos but these special moments of holidays and vacations are with a foster family. We got him when he was four. He showed up at our doorstep at midnight and we we've had him ever since. I thought i would never get adopted. But they didn't know if they could have him forever, not until Monday. At this time i'm officially granting the adoption. Packed in a Texas courtroom to see the family pledged to Nike.
His second grade class, church friends, even a superhero, signed swag from his favorite football team the Dallas cowboys and t-shirts merging the names of mom and dad, David and Christie Schwartz and Nike's love of Star Wars. May the Schwartz be with you. It was very special, it was surreal. The big event likely added a few new pages to Nike's family album. You see, every one of those people in that courtroom is his family. He knows now. Awesomeness and awesomeness feels like happiness. Happiness feels like joyfulness. And a first official picture of what home looks like.
