We Have a Daughter (Almost!)

Court lasted more than 2 hours -- the judge was very thorough in going over our paperwork and Jonna's background. At the end of the hearing, he approved the adoption... so we are now officially her parents.

Unfortunately, we couldn't take Jonna home from her baby house today, because an official who must be present for the "hand-off" was not available. So we'll be getting her first thing tomorrow morning.

Two little dinosaurs roaring away!

Congratulations! This is wonderful! I've been checking the blog for eight hours straight. I guess this means I have to get to work now.

Yippee! Can't wait to have all of you next door! Thanks for the warning on the dinosaur roars. Court for two hours, yes, the judge was "very thorough" indeed. Congratulations.

So... I am trying to figure out...
Was your waiting period waived? Court one day baby the next. That must have been wonderful!

We requested a boy up to two years old, so I would love to be able to bring him back to the apt with us after court.

Congratulations!!!
