Yesterday we finalized Anthony's adoption. Yeah for all of us!!!It was a bit of a formality as there has been no doubt that Anthony is our son. It does feel really good for it to be official, though!
The ceremony was relatively brief. We were sworn in, said that all of our documentation was correct and that we did want to adopt "the minor child". The judge declared that it was in "the minor child's" best interests and declared it approved. Afterwards we took pictures and Anthony got a celebratory toy.
We had lunch at the Tied House downtown to celebrate. Anthony had a french fry, a true celebration as Mommy hadn't planned on teaching him about french fries until he was at least 3. Anthony ate it succesfully!
My dad was able to come up for the ceremony. We had a nice weekend together including a trip up to the Golden Gate bridge and lunch in Sausalito. We were very pleased he was able to join us!The humorous bit of the morning. Anthony's certificate says that he has all the rights AND responsibilities of being a Moragues. We haven't decided what his new responsibilities should be yet.

Congratulations you guys! I know it felt like forever in coming but now you are all offical :-)
Hugs from the Pomianowski's.
congratulations on your finalization. Cute family court picture too. It was such a relief to have J's finalization back in April. The court judge was so nice and the court clerks were having such fun with J as she kept flirting with our lawyer and the judge. Enjoy the rest of your lives together. Well deserved pat on the back to have a blessing in your lives like he is.
