Title: My New Son and His First Bow
Post by: SpankyNeal on January 18, 2009, 11:37:00 PM

Wanted to introduce my little buddy to everyone. My wife and I have been caring for this little guy since he was 12 weeks old, he'll be two next month. A short while ago they informed us that he had released him for us to adopt, so we've been working hard to make that happen! He and I were at a local sporting goods store yesterday just looking around and killing some time looking at stuff. He's always wanting to play with my bows whenever I have them out, so when I saw this little bow I had to buy it. Of course being the guy I am, I had to start him out with a classic "D" longbow, and as you can see he took right to it! Notice the natural English warbow style - I think I have a natural on my hands! We would very much appreciate your prayers that this process goes quickly and smoothly so that our family may stay together, and that we will raise this little guy to be the man he should be! Thanks and best wishes to all!

Good luck Spanky. I was in foster care from age 2 to age 6. The work you are doing is the most powerful force on Earth. He looks very happy to me.

Don't try stacking books on his head...they still grow up!!! Made me stop and reflect on my two young men for another minute.

Thanks and be blessed!

Ken, good to see it's coming together for you. Hoping the road ahead will be smooth sailing sailing as well. That little fella sure takes to the bow. Looks like many arrows to be shot in the years to come for you folks. Enjoy ever one.

My son just turned 2 in Dec and I love to see the same kind of smile as your son has. They are so much fun. I finally got my bow out after not shooting it for a long time, and my son love to stand at the door watching me, and with every shoot he give me the touchdown signal, and I just laugh about it.

Good luck with the adoption.
