Sawyer's Adoption Finalization

On April 23rd we went to the courthouse to have Sawyer's adoption finalized. It was an enormous relief to finally have a court date. 

We had an amazing judge. He started off saying how happy adoptions made him and they were the best part of his job and that since this was a happy time the kids could do whatever they wanted and run around the courtroom. He had Laneah and Brooklyn come up and sit in his chair and told them what to say to make the adoption official and then had them bang the gavel a few times. He also gave them a present; a pencil with a two sided eraser that looked like a gavel. He made our day extra special. 



And the first "official" family of five photograph. 

So happy!!!!
Afterwards we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. My sister had driven our way to take my mom to the airport and so she and Benjamin met up with us. 





What a special, happy day. My heart is full.
