Finalized Today!!!

We finalized the adoption of *B* today during the National Adoption Day celebration in our County. It was a lot of fun with snacks, balloons, a wonderful judge with an excellent sense of humor! He came into the court room and after we were all able to be seated he called the court session to order with the bang of his gavel, which just so happened for today to be a blow up hammer that squeaked when he banged it. It was great! It was also how he finalized *B's* official joining of our family... with a good swift SQUEAK of his gaval

I've attached a pic of *B* that was taken at the court house today moments before her adoption. I'm just so excited I want to scream it from the roof tops
