Finalized our adoption today!

We are finally done with this process!  It literally took 5 minutes to go into court, verify that all the info on our petition is correct and say we wanted to keep him.  Today wasn't a huge deal since we were never worried that DS wasn't a keeper :)  Last Christmas we were trying to choose an agency and this Christmas we are celebrating with our 5 month old son.  I can't believe all that has happened and the blessings we have to be thankful for this year!  Our agency has a rule that we can't post pictures online until finalization but no more rules now so check out my blog to see how adorable our little adoption blessing is!!
