CASE CLOSED!

We went to court this afternoon for Tate's re-adoption. It's kind of confusing, but basically it's just another step in the adoption process. Re-adoption will give Tate a California birth certificate rather than a Ukrainian one. It was very casual. If I had to guess I would say that the judge was wearing a t-shirt under her gown.

We signed a few documents.


Tate acted uninterested the entire time.


The bailiff was the photographer while we did our best to get Tate to smile.



Surrounded by our family on a very special day.


Tate's adoption paperwork is finally COMPLETE!

CASE CLOSED!!!
