Thanks for the congrats! They are beautiful children...I think I would say that even if they weren't mine

I tried to edit my post but couldn't. It should read "adoptive parents..." not "adopted parents..." LOL!

Congratulations. Such a gorgeous family. I am happy for you.

For all concern: we need people to post their finalizations. It lets us all know that it is possible.
