Here's a shot of Mommy and Daddy posing with Eliza and the judge after her finalization hearing. The whole process took about 5 minutes, and then we spent the next 15 minutes taking photos and hanging out with the courtroom staff. Everyone wanted to hold baby E. The judge was even an adopted child himself, so he really enjoyed presiding over these kinds of cases.
It was joyful experience and a quite memorable morning, and well worth the five hour drive to get there.
Looks like she's stuck with us!
