Today was cause for double celebration. First, we finalized our adoption in court. The State of Wisconsin requires adoptive parents to finalize their adoptions in State Court sometime after being home for at least six months. During those first six months, we were considered foster parents while our homestudy agency was considered the boys' guardian. We've been home six months and one week and are very pleased to make it over this last hurdle. Other than an annual post-placement report over the next three years, no more paperwork for us!
Our second cause for celebration was that it was Sergei and Roman's 2nd birthday today! The staff at the courthouse was kind enough to adjust their schedule in order to accommodate us on their birthdays! After court we went to dinner and returned home with some family members to celebrate the re-adoption and have a small birthday party. Their real birthday party isn't until Saturday but it was nice to have a little pre-celebration. The boys, who are normally very outgoing, decided to get real embarrassed and shy when everyone sang Happy Birthday to them. It was really cute.
