After anxiously awaiting for this outcome over the past 2 years, 5 months, and 16 days (not that I'm counting or anything), we finally have an adoption finalization date for C!Although she's been our daughter in our hearts for that long, this sassy, strong-willed, beautiful, beloved little girl will legally become part of our family on August 30th at 1:30 PM!
As most of you know, our attempts to adopt her through the foster care system have proven to be much more of a challenge than we ever imagined. But against all odds, we are so thankful to be basking in the light at the end of the tunnel!
We feared we'd never get there, but the day is almost upon us, in large part due to the amazing support of family and friends. We love you all so dearly!
Later that evening, we'll be celebrating C's special day with a casual BBQ party in the park. We found a splash park that she loves (thanks to Terry and Chole for the reminder of that park) so I've just secured a reservation there.
Specific details will be shared for all who are interested in being a part this joyful day!
Wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Finalization day is one of those strange, time bending experiences. You wait and wait and wait. Suddenly you realize it happened last Tuesday and you hardly remember any of it! I hope everything goes smoothly and it is a joyous occasion.
