It’s Official!
I can’t get my photos to upload but I’ll post them later. Five minutes after standing in front of the Judge, we are a legal family now. It’s all done.
The Judge told Speedy, “Happy Adoption Day” and so did our lawyer. He was very excited and said, “yaaaay!” after the lawyer said that to him.
In about six months, we’ll recieve new birth certificates that list us as the birth parents. So I guess you could say I gave birth to a 2 1/2 year old and a 13 month old this morning. Ouch.
I don’t feel any differently. Just ready to get on with the rest of our lives.
Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow.

Yippee! Go new “official” family!
Isn’t that business about the new birth certificates weird? It definitely felt strange to me. Maybe it’s a throwback to the days when adoption was “hush hush” and the knowledge was kept from the children?
