This afternoon we went down to the courthouse and finalized Mac's adoption, YEAH!!!
I am totally kicking myself right now because we didn't get any pictures. That is because it was so casual and quick I didn't even think about it until we were almost home.
We first met with our Lawyer who just went over what was going to happen. Then we headed over to the courthouse and waited for the Judge to get back from lunch. As we were waiting the secretary came over and asked if she could hold Mac and then just a minute later an older lady walked up and was just saying how cute Mac was and then the secretary gave back Mac. Then she asked us to come into the Judges Chambers. So we walk in there and the Judge was the older lady that was talking to Mac when the secretary was holding him. We sat down around the desk in her chambers, it was just us, the Judge, our Lawyer and the secretary (our caseworker couldn't come). We were swarn in, our Lawyer asked us a couple of questions and then the Judge signed the paperwork. And it was all over before I really had time to think about what just happened (it was seriously maybe 5 minutes). Then we went down to the court clerk's office and got some paperwork certified and we filled out the paperwork for Mac birth certificate. And then we left. It was all a whirlwind!
I cant even tell you how excited we are that Mac is OURS! Being his parents has been more than we could have hoped or asked for! The entire experience of him becoming part of our family is so amazing and special to us.
WE LOVE YOU MAC!!!
Thank You C!

McCoy is such a cutie and I'm so happy he's now officially part of your family!
I remember our finalization day. It was an amazing experience--life came full circle. The heartache ended in hearts overjoyed. I am so happy for you. Congrats!
How funny that I just emailed you today about your judge date:) I read your post from a year ago and it was so beautifully said! I felt so much the same as you did! Then after a while I would try and say something mean when they would ask the line of questions how long have you been married any kids then they stop and OH look. I would just want to say something rude. I usually didn't, but it was in the back of my mind!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you guys! What a wonderful blessing!
