Finalization

Almost five months ago I posted about meeting the judge that would finalize Lars’s adoption. We met with him in his chambers, so that we wouldn’t have to return to UT when it was time to finalize.

That time has come!

Today we finalized Lars’s adoption! Yay!

It was a little strange… With our previous adoptions, we had to appear in person the day of finalization.

Today, I emailed our attorney to check that everything went smoothly. It did!

November is National Adoption Month and we have so much to celebrate!
