We did it!

Well we are finalized!! Sorry it took so long to let everyone know! There has been alot of celebrating!!!!!!! I'm going to try and attach a photo. The day went by so quick, we were in and out of the Judge's chambers within 10 minutes. But what a great day and a wonderful feeling to know they are ours forever! It has made a world of difference in Reese (7 year old). She is finally secure!

The man in the yellow shirt is Judge Webb! He is a great Judge. He even shed tears during the adoption! Like I've said before it was a long road! But well worth it!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!! There seems to have been quite a few of us who have been blessed within the last few minths with finalizations!!!! I pray there will be many more joining us with their own finalizations. God is great!!! It is so wonderful to finally get these children a PERM. home. Congratulations again.

The finalization has really helped Ryan as well. I can tell that he is more secure and is just acting sooooo much better. He is more calm and fun to be around.

Congratulations!!!!

Thank you all. I need to clearify we adopted both children Reese is 7 and JJ is 3. They are brother and sister. They have a 1/2 sister who will be 1 next month. We have no contact with her. Yesterday I sent a letter to the adoption center she was placed with. So now I wait and see if her adoptive parents want any type of contact.
