Thank You, Everyone

Many of you have followed along with Bethany, Alex, and I for years as we have tried to add to our family. You know that we started "trying" to give Alex a little brother or sister since he was two years old. For six years you have been with us through all of the peaks and valleys of the emotional roller coaster we have been riding. And now, through this blog, you have had a daily glimpse at the drama that has been our lives over the past few weeks as we have completed the adoption of Truman. We have been overwhelmed by your voices of support on the phone, in emails, on the blog, and in person. We didn't realize how enthralling the journey to China would be to our family and friends. We are humbled by your support and words of encouragement. Although we were half a world away, we felt like our friends and family were with us every step of the way. I can't tell you how much that meant to us while we rode in Chinese taxi cabs, listened to Truman cry for hours at a time, and sat on a plane for twelve hours straight. In short, we thank you all for your love and support throughout this long, but ultimately worthwhile journey. So reward yourselves for being there for us by stopping by to visit the newest Naughton whenever you get the chance. You will fall head over heels for him, as we did, the second you meet him. I admit there's a very remote chance that I may not be the cutest Naughton boy afterall. I may actually only be the third cutest. I guess I'll settle for that.
