It's official!!!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!
This morning, we went to court and finalized Zack's adoption. Now, we are legally no longer his "guardians", but his "parents"! No more social worker visits, no more home studies, no more trips to the attorney's office, no more paperwork...it's all over!
Our attorney Sheldon playing with Zack in court.

Zack was so happy...he just kept jumping throughout the entire proceeding and smiling at our family that was sitting behind us.

Judge Aronson let us come up to his bench to take pictures with him and our attorney, Sheldon.


Mom, Emily, Logan, Colleen, AJ, Shea, Alex, Kristie and Kasey all came to witness the adoption.


Zack showing off his fangs. This is our first picture as an official family...although it's felt official for a long time!

We are so blessed.

Congrats Speakman FAMILY!!! We love you! Sorry we missed it. I didn't find a baby sitter in time and didn't want to juggle four rowdy kids. Glad it's over. We love you!
