Legally a Bradford!


This morning as of 8:18 am Maggie became legally ours!. We had our finalization of the adoption this morning and I could not be more grateful. Nothing really has changed, it is just knowing that she is ours. The judge said "I have signed the decree and this adoption is final" (I almost started crying. ok I did cry)
As we were standing there getting pictures with the judge he leaned over to me and said that he was happy for us and has 3 adopted children of his own. I think the only time judges allow pictures in court of them selves and the people that appear before them is during adoptions.
I am also grateful for our lawyer. Being in court is official and very legal type talk but when all is said and done she is ours!
