I've had to reduce my hours at work, so I can get home earlier. It's not for anything negative, though it is serious. Before the pandemic broke out, Morgan and I talked about making a change in our lives. Because of the complexities of this change, and because of the restrictions put in place to protect minors, I couldn't say anything before now. Then COVID struck, and proceedings dragged on longer than it would have under normal circumstances. It wasn't easy, but then again, tasks worth the reward rarely are. As of yesterday, the adoption was finalized. Morgan and I are now the parents of a 9-year-old fellow named Max.
