Adoption finalized in Scott County



We all went to the court house on Tuesday, April 17th around 8:45. It was the weirdest feeling. It was very quiet in the courtroom. We checked in with the clerk and went and sat down. Reed decided he needed to fill his diaper before seeing the judge. I asked to clerk if we had time to change a diaper and she gave us the go ahead. When we returned she called us back into chambers and meet with the judge. She was very nice and was excited to see our cute little boy.
She had seen pictures of him from his passport and was glad she could meet him in person.

She asked us a few questions to varify the information we had given her was accurate. She asked me first of coarse since the mother usually knows the answers to all of the questions asked. We weren't there more than 10 minutes and we were done. She gave us permission to take pictures and we were on our way.

After court we went downstairs in the government center and received some of the paperwork we will need to apply for a social security card and a passport/certificate of citizenship. We are almost done. A couple last details to complete and we are finished. (Ready to start on number 2. haha)
