1 and half days?
Feb 26th 2007Cindy14 & 24 & 36
I can think of little else but the adoption finalization on Tuesday. That, and planning for the celebration the following Sunday! 
I just can’t wait to know that we can go out of town without getting anyone’s permission. No one will be coming to our house once a month to make sure we still meet the standards for certification. I will no longer have to fill out forms every time we go to the doctor or dentist.
Little things ……. but big to us.
I don’t know that I’ll feel any differently when the Judge declares us legally a family. I imagine maybe a huge sense of a weight being lifted from my shoulders - but I’m not sure. I just want to know we’re done. I want their names in writing. I want the birth certificate with our names listed as parents.
Several of our family members will be in court with us on Tuesday. It will be video taped and I’m sure we’ll get to take pictures with the Judge. I hope so, anyway. I hope that he will say something like, “Happy Family Day!” - Just for Speedy’s sake.
This is a crazy week - finalizing adoption, sworn in as an advocate and a big party in our home. Glad I don’t have anything to do this week. ha ha ha

I am anxious, too, just to hear and see how it goes. May you just soak in every precious moment of the week. It is a BIG WEEK! God bless you all. Linda L.
