Monday, April 18th was the day we officially adopted Abraham into our family. What a great day! The adoption was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but the judge's office called and asked to reschedule it to first thing Monday morning.
It was actually a very strange ceremony. I thought that we would be sworn in and everything and I would be asked questions like "Why should you raise this child?" and stuff. They told us it would start at 8:30. So, we got to the courthouse around 8:15 and the attorney who was helping us went in to the judge's chambers to let him know we were there. He came out a minute later and said, "Well, we're done. The judge was in a hurry, so he just signed the papers." I gotta say it was a little bit of a letdown. But, you can't argue with the result! To celebrate, we went out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel with some of our closest friends who had come to support us.
