It's Final...YEAH!!

Today the adoption was finalized. My parents and Rich's mom were there as we signed papers and Ava legally became our daughter. It was a great feeling to have this done and we look forward to making Ava our daughter forever this Saturday in the Sacramento Temple.

After it was final we found the Jensen's in the hallway looking for us. They planned to be there for the finalization, but an accident on the freeway and lack of direction to the right room from court staff got in the way. We were happy they supported us even though they missed the big event.

We then all went to Pannera Bread to have a celebration breakfast. This was the first time we had breakfast there, but I don't think it will be the last. Rich had a souffle, I had a egg ciabatta, and we shared a bear claw. It was delicious.
