National Adoption day 11.18.06 in Newark

We adopted our son Mark this past SAturday in Newark. It was a huge event, but so well organized and easy to know what was going on. Gov. They had a really nice reception. WIth lots of gifts, free family photos, plaques lunch and even Gov. Corzine made an appearance.
I must say it has been he___ from placement to finalization but the actual adoption day was well organzied and very smooth.

Congrats on your adoption!
It is always seems to take forever to get to that day, but when the day gets there, it is like a breathe of fresh air. I have been there 4 times, but never around the time of national adoption day - I heard that it is truly memorable!
Again, congrats!!!!
