Adoption Update

FINALLY!

We should be going to finalize Mathew’s adoption on Wednesday. I say “should” because we’ve gotten the run-around a few times now and I will believe it when I see it.

It’s not even a big deal to me – I wish they’d let us do the paperwork here and have it notarized or something. I mean, he has been ours from the beginning. The day I celebrated his joining our family was the first time I held him in my arms. I never doubted whether he would eventually become ours legally – I knew it was just a matter of time. For me, he was ours then and now it is just a formality.

I guess to me what happens in our hearts is far more important than what happens in court.

Speaking of Mr. Mathew, the little dude is standing on his own now! the other day he was digging a toy out of his little bucket and when he grabbed it, he just stood right up and held it to his mouth so he could chew on it. I about fell over.
