Smile It's The Day

Well this morning it became official.

After a quick 20 minute court session, our little guy became ours (officially). They didn't waive the 10 days, so we will spend the next week and 1/2 going to the Baby Home every day, before taking custody. Then the rest of the paperwork, and then home. We will have some time to tour, which is alway a good idea.
