Adoption Day

Today, we are legally Daniel's parents. We went to court this morning and the Judge said "yes" or "da" that we could adopt you. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and we walk around Toliatty a little after court. We were with another couple adopting 2 children and a single mom adoption a 2 year old girl. After court, we went to lunch while Natasha went and got all of the children's passport and other legal paperwork. After dinner we all wanted to get our kids but Natasha said it would be too late by the time we got back to Toliatty. We had a mutiny and we ended up winning. The orphanage workers had to go and get you out of bed. We had to dress you and give back the clothes that belong to the orphanage. All the other kids were crying but not Daniel. He let me dress him while John videotaped the whole thing.
