Congratulations! I remember also feeling that although it didn't make us feel any differently about being a family, it was very nice to be finished with the paperwork and jumping through hoops.
Our judge was also a big teddy bear of a man who was SOOo nice. He had Pooh and Tigger figurines sitting on his bench.
One of the workers in the courthouse who rode the elevator down with us asked us if we were adopting. W e smiled and said yes - he said, 'Congrats. I figured - we love Tuesdays (or whatever day it was) here in the family court. It's adoption day and sure beats people contesting over wills!
