Adoption Papers Are SIGNED!

Yes, that's right! We signed adoption papers on Monday, March 23rd. Whoopee! Now, we sit back, relax and wait for the judge to call us in to his chambers for the final event in this process. We have been told this has been amazingly fast and for that we are grateful! Protocol is that the kids have to be in our home 6 months before you can sign the adoption papers - but we got to sign exactly 1 month early! The court event should be in about 6 weeks!

The kids are happy!
Dad and Mom are happy!
We are one happy family!

BTW - Sweet comments followed . . .

Daily Justin tells us he is so happy that we found them and I tell him we feel so blessed to have been found! But Andrea is a little more reserved - so you can imagine how I felt when the evening of the adoption signing she said she wished her birth mom and dad could meet us so they would know what a great mom and dad she has. That comment brought tears to my eyes . . but as I relayed the comment to James a few minutes later Justin overheard and remarked, "I think she is getting the big picture!"
