We signed the paperwork at our attorney's office on Friday and the petition for adoption was filed with the court that same day. It looks like the week before Christmas will be when the adoption is finalized. Emily says that we are getting married (the three of us). She is excited about the adoption but just as excited, I think, to wear her pretty new dress that day.
Amongst all that we have to finish packing up the house and get moved and this house cleaned by the end of the year. Sounds simple enough but throw in the fact that one of us lives in Texas during the week and the other works 12 hour shifts and time gets a little tighter. And we also have Emily's social schedule. She has 2 Christmas party's to attend and a special presentation planned for here at home.
Today she received a special friend sent from the North Pole via Grandma and YaYa and Aunt Lynn and Uncle Jeff. Dave the Elf (on a shelf) has moved in for the holiday season to keep an eye on Emily for Santa.
So for now we wait (impatiently) for the adoption to be finalized so we can move to Texas and start the next chapter of our life together. Will update again after the completion of the adoption.
