A/N: Firstly I want to start by saying that I know next to nothing about adoption and I understand that the process is nowhere as easy as I make it out to be. Secondly, I am new/terrible at LiveJournal so if there are any errors please let me know. Also, I apologize for how large the GoogleDocs are but I just wanted to get this fic posted in anyway that I could. Most importantly thank you to anna_luna , holycloud , and lumberxjill for taking the time to contribute incredible art to this fic, it honestly means the world to me, especially because this is my first BBB.
**Apparently the google docs don't work for everyone anymore, so here is a link to download the whole fic from MediaFire, please let me know if this doesn't work for anyone. http://www.mediafire.com/?bgo86zt0gcysv

Art by anna_luna (Can I just say how much I love it and that I was a fan of anna's work before this? But really I love it, look at Brendon's pajamas!) Artist's note: I had a lot of fun drawing this piece. I guess it is not really a secret that I love kid!fic and the idea of Jon taking care of Brendon stole my heart. This is my favorite scene, the quote "I'll teach you every song I know, kid." basically summed up Jon and Brendon's relationship for me. (Click for larger)
