Just wanted to let everyone know our Niece is now offically our daughter. We went to court on Friday July 18th and the Judge was very nice

We are still celebrating!

Such a relief let me tell you. The Judge told us we were the first ICPC case coming from Idaho And he said "Gosh this was a long road for you guys!" LOL...I guess he read our file! It took 11 mos to get her here and then another 13 mos for finalization of her adoption...thru all the stress we had it was all so worth it though looking back.
