Today is a big day for our family. One year ago today we officially became Dosen's parents. The year has been such an amazing year. He has adjusted so well to our family. To be honest, the first month that we had him I worried that I could never love him as much as our son Luke. And Dosen didn't know what to do with his new big ole, hairy daddy. Now I can't imagine life without him. It is obvious that God chose Dosen for our family. He is the perfect addition to the Stums. He and Luke have become best buds. I am head over heels for him. And Merica has always been crazy about him.
A couple of videos..
1. This first video is of the church where Dosen was abandoned. He was left on the front stoop of this church when he was two months old. Going to this location was very emotional for us.
2. This is just a short video I shot on my phone this morning. One year ago Dosen didn't have very many smiles for me:) But now he is totally my boy...
Psalm 12:5
5 "Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he longs."

Cutest video EVER!! He is such a doll... I love the "gotcha day" too!! You guys are such great parents :)
ReplyDeleteYep, he is your boy all the way. The scary hairy one won Deezy over in no time. For Jake's readers who've not witnessed Dosen's intense love and need for Jake, hang out at our house for hour. Dosen constantly calls roll and every family member must respond to insure D's peace and happiness. "Daddy? Mama? Lu? Oscar?" Rinse repeat. AND, if Jake returns to the room after a 5 minute absence, Dosen shrieks and hugs him as if he's been gone for 2 weeks. Precious.
