I was also not notified by the agency regarding finalization, however, M's parents kept me very informed of everything and invited me to travel with them to the county where they were required to finalize several hours away. I did go, but because I was not considered "immediate family" I was not allowed in the proceedings and had to wait in the hallway.

We went out afterwards and had a nice meal and did some sight seeing – since the county where they finalized (which I still cant wrap my head around, since conception, birth and placement took place in another county several hours away) is known for its historical significance, scenic riverfront and outside market.
