Adoption Day November 15, 2008


What a wonderful experience we had. The courthouse was filled to the top with balloons and beanie babies. Cakes, cookies, fruit, and many other refreshments were to be enjoyed by all. There was a proffessional photographer set up in one court room taking free family photos, each family gets one free photo and we can order more on line if we choose later. Good thing cuz my camera died in the middle of the proclamation ceremony, so the only pix we have are the ones other people took. The one I have on here is from his Dedication at church on Sunday night.
They had a nice ceremony and the reading of a proclamation declaring the day Adoption day in the fifth district court of Polk county. Then it was off to our hearing. The Burrito stole the show, of course....he showed off his many talents both good and bad. The judge allowed the kids to take as many beanie babies as they could carry. The local news was in the court room and taped our ceremony, showing clips on the evening news. My mother, Uncle Garry Anut Cindi, one of our Pastors, Pastor Bill and our CASA Paula were all there to share in our day.
IF I could have, I would have shared that moment with the world!
He is officially....
