May 17th was a very special day for our family. Our adoption of Evie was finalized and legal that day! This hearing had to happen at least 6 months after Evie had been placed in our home. The boys were still in school at this point, so they missed the morning of school to head to the courthouse for our 8:00 am hearing. We met with our lawyer first (the first time we had met her) and then had our time in the courtroom.

| Friends and family swearing to love and take care of Evie forever and ever! |
The process was very laid back and comfortable. The boys loved getting to see a real courtroom, and all of the kids got to pick out a stuffed animal from the judge at the end of the hearing.
