Court Day!



Well, it's official. Today we went to Court and sat with the Judge and had our official papers signed. Ryleigh is ours again....like going through all of that in China wasn't enough.... At least we will now have a California Birth Certificate and if she ever wants to adopt, she will easily be able to order her birth certificate and get it notarized, and certified, and stamped and stapled (but don't remove them)!!!

The Readoption took all of about 10 minutes. The judge was very nice, we met in her Chambers and Ryleigh was a good little girl. Austin was great too. The judge asked him all kinds of questions, it was very very cute!

Ryleigh really loved her pretty dress. She was twirling and playing with it all morning.

Congrats on being official (again). Ryleigh's dress is downright beautious!

What a cool family event. Maybe Austin has a little litigator in him ;0)

Congrats! Good to know she's all set to "notarize, certify, authenticate!" For awhile I was dreaming those three words. She looks beautiful.

Congrats on your re-adoption. Now everything is done! Hooray for you!

We just received Charlotte's Birth Certificate yesterday from her May Readoption. It only took half as long as we were told to expect.

Ryleigh, I think your dress is really pretty too.
