Adoption Finalized!

We had our court appointment today! James and our minister Rosemary joined us. We had a little bit of a wait; there were a total of three adoptions today. The first one was a woman who adopted a baby from Guatemala, the second was another lesbian couple with a boy, and then us. Here we are waiting:

O The judge insisted that Avery get a lollypop. He didn't know what to make of the Tootsie pop at first, and after his first lick, he made a face. Then he thought about it for a minute, decided that it was good, and licked it some more. As soon as we got out of the courtroom, the lollypop went in the trash. Here we are with our lawyer and the judge (and the lollypop):

Okay Avery, ONE last lick, and that's all!



Taking the subway home. Avery was exhausted from his morning in court:



Back at home happily jumping:

Congratulations, I know what a relief it is to have this behind you. I love that the judge "corrupted" him with a lollypop.

P.S. By the way, the snoozing picture of Avery is absolutely the best sleeping baby picture!
