H's birth parents were amazing through this. I can't believe their strength. They helped me so much -- when it was me that should have been helping them.They just love him so much.
I wanted to publish pictures, but I realized that violates their privacy. So they're not here.

I can't tell you how glad I am to read this post. Finally your happy ending/beginning has come. Enjoy every delicious minute of it.
OMG! I am so so SO thrilled for you! What an amazing journey you've had and the exciting part is just beginning.
I think nicknaming him 'Henry' for the blog is fantastic. Welcome to the world little Henry! You've no idea how precious you are!
Congratulations to you and your family as you begin anew on a most amazing path!
Oh, Rachel - this is so, so wonderful! Your son is wonderfully perfect for you and so very loved. I just told my husband your story and he put it perfectly - "oh, they have gone through so much, and waited so long - what a wonderful story that they have their son!" It's hard to find all the words but I'm so truly happy for you.
Congratulations!!! He's just beautiful. Thinking about the whole lot of you--you, Henry (that's my vote!) and his birthparent--through this transition.
I'm overwhelmed with happiness for you. Our sons were born within a week of each other. I can't believe it! It seems light years away from when we 'met'. He is very lucky to have 4 amazing parents who love him so very dearly. Please kiss your little one for me.
Congratulations! Welcome to Motherhood...
