Today we took Sadie to court and finalized her adoption! Yeah!!! We are so thrilled that her adoption is final. She is offically SADIE LYNNE KJAR! She was darling during our meeting with the judge and cooed and was really sweet. The judge asked the boys what they thought of Sadie and they were both SO quiet! I think the judge in her black robe was a little intimidating. I have to admit-I was sweating it just a bit. I wasn't too worried that things wouldn't work out, but come on-this judge had the future of our family in her little pen! I always get emotional during finalization when the attorney asks if I have bonded and love the child. This time was no exception, but the tears started a little sooner when he started to present the case to the judge and I was feeding Sadie and he pointed to her and said we were here for this sweet baby girl. I totally started to tear up and was thinking how blessed I was. I still can't believe she is ours! The circumstances of her adoption is a total miracle that we got her. The proceedings went really smooth and before we knew it, the judge was signing the adoption decree to make everything final. We actually held the hearing in the judges chambers, which was a first for us. After the proceedings, we went to a late lunch/early dinner to the Cheesecake Factory. It was fun way to celebrate the newest "official" member of our family. We couldn't be more thrilled!!
