Alex's sealing March 27th 2010

One of the best days of our lives!
Alex was sealed to us for Eternity. It was a very special week. On the 23rd we finalized his adoption in court. On the 27th he was sealed to us and on the 28th Spencer blessed him in our Elko ward. The sealer said he was very inspired about Alex's sealing. He did something that day, that he had never done before with infants. Usually they don't bring them in until they are done talking etc. and then they send them right out after so they don't get fussy and cry. The sealer said he went down to the children's room and when he saw Alex he wanted him to be in the room with us the entire time. Alex sat on my lap and intently watched the sealer the whole time. Anyone who says that baby's don't know what is going on is crazy. I think they truly know more than us at that age. Alex was perfect. It was amazing to have him on my lap as the sealer spoke to us. He also said he was inspired to use a scripture he had never used before. All I can say is that the Lord knows what he is doing and Alex is our little boy.

I'm so happy for you guys! It sounds like it was a wonderful experience to be sealed together. I'm sure you've already written down, the way you are so good about recording events and keeping them close to your heart. Those memories will be special for Alex to read about when he is older.

Hi! I'm new to your blog. I think I came across it from Andee's blog? Not sure, but glad I did! Congrats on your sealing and finalization. We adopted through LDSFS as well, a baby girl and baby boy born 2 months apart, and just sealed our daughter a few weeks ago. We will be sealing and finalizing our baby boy's in June. So exciting and such a blessing isn't it. So happy to have come across your blog! :)
