We finalized!!!!!!!!

We finalized today, at 9:00 a.m.!

Our children are finally ours "forever"! My heart adopted them long ago but now the our paperwork proves it!

For a limited time, you can see pictures from our adoption day at http://photobucket.com/adoptionday . I'll be closing the album to the public in a few weeks for safety purposes.

Thanking God for the miracle of adoption,
Michelle

Thanks everyone. We've been on cloud nine ever since

It's hard to imagine how I ever lived without these kids before.
