Getting Brason

Brason is my little great nephew! He was born premature on Feb.20,2008 and weighed in at One pound and ten ounces! He was born at 26 weeks gestation and his parents loved him but were too young to take care of him,he was in the hospital for three months after birth and then home for a week or two and back in the hosp for two weeks and CPS stepped in and took him away and put him in foster care for almost a year. I met him when he was 11 mo.old,he was soo tiny even then,I gave him his first birthday party cause his parents didn't have the money for anything. Oh back up,first of all my niece came to me and told me about her brothers baby that was getting ready to be adopted out if someone in the family didn't come forward! I told her absolutely that I would go for him! We started taking foster parenting classes in Feb. and went all the way through them and got him at the end of March and then the CPS worker said we didn't have to follow through with getting the liscence since the courts gave him to us! Yippeee we were soo happy when we took him. He is a real JOY to us...We had temporary custody at that point and the social worker came to our house once a month to check up on him and us to see how we were getting along and how he was doing with us! We got full custody in the fall! He had therapist three times a week when we got him. When he was born he had a brain bleed,chronic lung,and as he grew his head was mis shapen so he had to wear a helmet which he wore when we got him till about april of 2009! He had a hole in his heart which is now healed,thank God! Well I will do another Blog in a few days to  tell you more about Brason!
