This is the little note we gave to Madison the night before her adoption day! It was such a great moment... in our favorite resturant, El Serrano's, just us and our little girl. We knew it would be a night she wouldn't forget!!
She was so excited... she actually asked the waiter to take the picture... and thats a true and genuine smile from her!!
The next day, Madi, Mimi and I went shopping for a new dress and Mimi also bought her new shoes and a new coat!! Madi was on cloud nine... that kid loves dresses!!
Ok... for some reason blogger is making this difficult for me to type in between pictures, and its super late, so basically these are pics at the Court House, with the Judge, Aunt Shell, and Mimi, and also her lovely polar bear from Build-A-Bear. The bear was from her caseworker and it also came with a tshirt with her new name printed on it and the date! We also got a bunch of chocolate bars with her name and her adoption date printed on them!! It was sooo special!! And I got flowers.. all of it made the day even more special for our girl!!
Sorry for the poor quality of pictures... it was very dark in the court room and I didnt have my good camera.. and since my computer was blown out, I havent loaded any of my photo editing software on here yet. But you can still see the joy... and thats the important part!

LOVE it!!! ADOPTION days are sooooo IMPORTANT & FUN- Because it's finally over & starting again :)!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, she is just beautiful! And what a God-amazing day, huh?! Nothing like that finalization to allow that deep breath out that you've been holding for so long, you know?!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, so glad you've had a good week with Madi and high-fives for longer snuggles!! I'm of the mindset what works for some doesn't always work for others and that's good 'cuz that's when God can work His stuff. Whether it's meds or diet or whatever, who cares as long as the results are happening it's a GOOD thing!! So rejoicing with you for answered prayers for this precious girl and your family!!
