Tomorrow is a big day for the Ellis family

[Kori Ellis]

Tomorrow, timvp and I are finalizing the adoption on our first daughter.

For those of you who don't know, we have three kids who were placed with us in recent months (two girls and a boy). And tomorrow is the court date to finalize the adoption of the first one.

We are very excited and proud.

Anyway, this isn't Spurs-related but I wanted to share our news with our second family -- the SpursTalk family.

And big thanks to timvp for being the best dad and husband ever.

[outmap]

Congratulations! God bless! :)

[dbestpro]

Congratulations! I was adopted as a baby, as well. It takes special people to understand the needs of such children.

My story is kind of fun, too. I have a son I raised from the age of two who is now 19. I am the only person he knows as his dad. At the age of 47 I had my first child. It was also, the first time I met a blood relative.

[DeadlyDynasty]

How old is she?

[Kori Ellis]

How old is she?

14 months.

[td4mvp21]

Aw, congrats Kori and Timvp. I wish you guys the best :toast

[Gutter92]

That's awesome! how old are the other kids?

Congratulations to you both.

She's 14 months old? How are you going to feed her? I understood that women don't produce milk unless they are pregnant, or right after birth or something..did you recently have a daughter yourself?

[tempest186]

Congratulations and best wishes to you all.

[TwoHandJam]

Congrats you two! A child is definitely a game-changer. It is the best gift you can receive. Wishing you all the best.

[TinTin]

Cool stuff. Do the other two live with you as well? That's a pretty huge gap between march and november though. I think I remember reading a post by one of you guys mentioning the daughter.

Last question, is the legal process hectic?

[Kori Ellis]

Last question, is the legal process hectic?

Yes, the three of them were placed with us between March-May. It usually takes 9 months to a year or so to finalize (it's 6 month minimum in Texas from the time they move in). It hasn't been that hectic for us.

[TinTin]

Nice to have more general knowledge.

Hope the family goes well

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Wow thats awesome. Congrats!

That's one more kid who is gonna bully Sequ

[Kobayagi]

When you opened that thread before the beginning of season and you mentioned that your family has gone from two to five, I remember thinking "wow, Kori and timvp have triplets, no wonder they don't have time to sort all this nonsense on Spurstalk out". :)

Anyway...props to you both for adopting.

[Spurs Brazil]

[Gooshie]

Very good news. Congrats!

[Samr]

Congrats.

I know I'm not a regular on here but I've been here for a long while; I can only hope that one day your kids will realize their parents were at San Antonio's heart during the transition from a physical and traditional (e.g. newspaper) media to an integrated online community.

Whether or not the adoption(s) were because you were biologically able to have children, what you both did was honorable, and I am very happy that three kids will have a new and better life.

[celldweller]

Congratulations! :toast

[UnWantedTheory]

Awesome!!! Congratulations and Good Luck!!!!

[gameFACE]

Congrats to the whole family! Very inspiring. We may end up doing the same.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Just promise you won't go Angelina Jolie on us and adopt a small Filipino village...

[FvckMavs]

Congrats to the family! Feel happy for you.

[Spurologist]

Congrats and Cheers!

[jestersmash]

Jestersmash gives the Ellis family his seal of approval :flag:

Yes, the same jestersmash who 3 years ago came onto spurstalk and started a thoroughly classless trash talking thread about how spursreport is better than spurstalk. The same jestersmash who then went off in a childish fit of rage trying to save face by bragging about how wealthy mommy and daddy are. You guys remember right (Kori Ellis, timvp)?

Spursreport is a piece of ****. Spurstalk has now been my spurs home for the last 2 years and will certainly be my home till the wheels fall off.

Amazing how times have changed. I wish you the best of luck with your new family :toast

Cute! How old are the other ones? When will they be adopted as well?

Also, nobody answered, how do you feed her if you aren't pregnant, or weren't recently pregnant? You can't be producing milk? Is she old enough to eat baby food yet?

Google developmental milestones. It'll be an enlightening moment for you.

Congratulations. My father was adopted. I've often thought that parents who adopt must be really special, loving people, and that adoption is one of noblest, generous and open/big-hearted things anyone can do. You have my sincere admiration.
All the best.
