On Wednesday, December 23rd we received the best Christmas present ever! Brooklyn officially became our daughter through the eyes of the courts!!!! We were so excited and ready to be able to finally feel like we could breathe knowing nothing could take her away from us now!
Since it was so close to Christmas we were lucky enough to able to spend the morning in court joined by many of our family members (We did miss the ones that were out of town or unable to attend, but felt all the love coming our way). Along with our wonderful lawyer, Grandma & Grandpa F., Great Granny & Grandpa F., Great Grandma & Grandpa A., Uncle Corey, Aunt Becky, Makayla and Conner all helped cheer us on in court. We kind of got the feeling the judge was a little bit surprised by all the support we had there, but he looked a little shocked to find out that there were several more who would have attended had they been able to make it there:)
The hearing was short and sweet, but very much an emotional event that we will never forget! We wanted to be sure there was something special to represent this day so Brooklyn wore her cousin Makayla's first Christmas dress and we all went to breakfast after to celebrate!
Later that evening Grandma & Grandpa came in to town from Indiana and we went out to dinner to celebrate with them later that night!
