Finalization!

On Friday we had our adoption hearing at the Gwinnett County Courthouse with Judge R. Timothy Hamil of the Gwinnett Superior Court. We had to wait a little bit because the judge was a little backed up, but we finally were able to go back with our parents and our attorney to the judge's chamber. It was so easy, it amazed me! We sat around the table and our attorney read us questions like, "Do you still want to adopt this child?" we said yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. After about two minutes of questions the judge said he signs off on the adoption to make it official - and that was it!

I knew it was a good sign when we were sitting there and the judge was wearing a Georgia tie - for those ignorant to the biggest weekend of college football Georgia played Florida and WON (we've only won like 3 times since 1990)! I think the judge's tie was such a good omen. We were so happy about Georgia's victory that Madeleine wore her GA bulldawg cheerleading outfit to church on Sunday to celebrate. 42-30 Go Dawgs!
