Dedication

We have been quite "busy" the last few days / weeks, preparing for the arrival of Tekla's little brother. Thomas Bowden (BODE) Borski was born 3/16/2010 at 1130 am. He weighed 7 pounds 11 ozs and was 20 inches long. Now we are resting in CA until our trip back to Texas.

While I'm posting a picture of Bode... this post isn't about him... it is about the unsurpassed dedication of a special lady and her fantastic family. Without which Tekla and Bode would not be with us today.

Melinda is an angel sent from heaven. We are so glad she came into our lives. Through our first trying journey she stuck out the hard times, even when pre-eclampsia required Tekla to arrive early. She went through so much during that time, and it fact put her own health in danger to give us our precious daughter. During that ordeal I said I would never ask another women to go through what she did for us to have a family.

Once again, her dedication to seeing us have our family complete persevered. She sought the medical opinion of many doctors and was determined to help us reach our goal. Now, after an incredibly smooth pregnancy and a long arduous labor, she has blessed us with Bode.

Her unselfishness has been unparalleled. With her wonderful family by her side she has done something I myself cannot fathom. She is and always will be a special person and a member of our family. Her generosity will one day be rewarded in ways that cannot be done in this lifetime.

WE LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MELINDA!!!

Saw you on the boards. We are a gay couple in Texas too just starting the surro path. We have been matched with a wonderful mom and wondered if there was any advice you guys could impart on two nervous daddies-to-be. :-)

Let us know.
