What a great day! And what a relief! Zoey fell asleep about 30 seconds before we parked the car and stayed that way till we were on our way out of the court room! Slept through the entire thing!! It was a wonderful experience, with a great attorney and a wonderful judge! Braedan even raised his hand with us to be sworn in and then he got to hit the gavel on the desk and everything to make it official! I was so happy my parents got to be there and witness what they too experienced with my sister and I, though our attorney thinks that our finalization sounds a bit shady as my parent's never were required to appear in court! We went to my dad's school right after to introduce Zoey to his staff and of course, she was a hit. We came home for a little rest and then headed to a yummy Korean restaurant and devoured the food!
I am honored, as is Danny, to be parents of two of the best children in the world. We are blessed to have this incredible family.
And thank you to my parents for all that you do and have done to make this possible, starting with adopting me so I could embark on this journey of my own...I love you guys.
I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!
Hi. I stumbled across your blog recently. Congrats on your finalization. We're hopefully going to be traveling in January to bring home our daughter from Korea. I was wondering if you still live in Texas? It seems like you were able to finalize right at about 6 months. We're in the Dallas area and were wondering if you were close and could recommend an attorney? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, guys! You all look great. I love the picture of you and Zoey, Kim. It's kind of crazy to look back and think about how far we've come since spring and our grueling waits :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome day!!! I am so happy for you and your family! Congrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been checking regularly waiting for this post! Congrats!!!! What a wonderful feeling; knowing this beautiful girl is 'officially' yours (though we know she's been yours for a long time!). How cute she slept through it-glad Braedan had such a good time!
