Well, we are getting closer and closer! Our adoption caseworker, Amy, came to our house on Tuesday to drop off 6 volumes (each 2" thick) of Austin's case file for our review. These are records we can either keep or destroy once we've read through them. I think we will keep everything under heavy lock and key until we have decided whether or not to permanently keep them. And then we might rent a safe deposit box. Definitely not papers that everyone should read - some very intense information.
It looks like we will be getting assigned an August court date to finalize adoptions. I'm so excited to be this close to officially calling them "my children"! Even their birth certificates will be new, declaring that we are there parents! It's amazing!

Oh this is so exciting. I do remember when we got the birth certificate in the mail with Bug's new middle and last name and Bryan's and my name on it as his mother and father. It was the third best day of my life. 1st- when we got the call about him and brought him home from the hospital. 2nd- when the Judge pronounced us a family and said his new name and hit the gavel, and 3rd- getting the birth certificate.
Hope the next few weeks go by quickly.
