Finally Final

The judge has spoken and signed, and our little Levi is now and forever legally ours!!

Elaine came with us to the hearing so she could capture some pictures for us and help entertain and/or calm Micah. We're grateful she was able and willing to be a part of this special day, and we're grateful to her parents for keeping her girls so she could go and for giving us a second home in the city and state where Levi was born.

Our judge was very laid back and nice, and the hearing was quick and easy. Though short, it was truly amazing to be here and watch him sign the official document drawing a close to Levi's adoption journey into our family.
