The Adoptions are Done!

by JD on February 26, 2008

Yea! After over four years, the last of the adoptions is done. Our 7, 6, and 5 year old are now legally ours. As the judge said, the state is just acknowledging what is already a fact – that they are our children! The three girls are sisters (same mother, 3 different fathers). Now only 1 or 2 more lawyer bills to wipe out my emergency fund.

Our family is going away for the rest of the week – I took some vacation time and we are going to a local resort that has fabolous food, an indoor waterpark, etc. We will meet up with the grandparents and have a wonderful family time. In the spirit of the ocassion, I will probably break most of my  financial rules!

Congrats on the finalization! I know you are thrilled for it to be legal, although they were already yours! Have fun as a family!

Congrats JD – it has to be a great feeling to know that your kids are legally yours now, and they aren’t going anywhere. At least until you send them off to college in a few years :)
