Finalization Date

We have our court date! Zinnia will legally be ours July 2, it's so incredible. In our county we do not need a lawyer to finalize the adoption, but I couldn't find anyone who doesn't use a lawyer to mentor us, and you know me, I love a challenge. When someone says it can't be done, well I just have to prove I CAN. (See my posts about leaving for Korea 18 hours after our Travel Call, staying in Incheon 2 1/2 hour subway ride to Holt, and traveling by train to southern Korea to visit Zinny's birth city when Holt advised NOT to do this) Those county clerks did NOT want to be helpful, ugh. Instead of answering my questions, they just kept saying "yeah, that's what lawyers are for". Humph! I showed them, why shell out all that lawyer $ when you can use it to throw a fabulous Finalization Day Party!
When the county clerk man gave me out court date and time, I cried. I was surprised at how emotional I became. Almost 2 years ago this beautiful wonderful child was put adrift in a sea of uncertainty, parentless, and in just a few weeks she will certainly legally be ours, and we hers,forever and always. It is amazing and beautiful and huge. We are so excited. Party planning under way !








A RARE moment!



Playing dollhouse with the girls.



Ok, so the neighbors put in a swanky pool and didn't invite us over, so we provided our kids with the next best thing.....oh we are so lame, hahaha (uh, but they played in it for a loonnggg time!)



My birthday dinner (because you care :) ) oh that mojito was fantastic...and so was the second one ....


This was my cake, that's a pitcher of MELTED BUTTER that you pour over that cake....it also comes with a complimentary ride to the hospital...

  1. Hooray for a court date!! Just a few short weeks away!

    We didn't use a lawyer when we re-adopted Autumn. Everything went just fine.
