Thanks to both our moms who have been AMAZINGLY supportive through out the last 7 months since Caleb joined our family and who took more time out of their day to come to a 5 minute hearing to be with us.
Thanks to our Social Worker, Teresa (2nd from the left), who responded to my constant emails with patience and to our attorney (gentleman on the far left) for making sure we dotted our "i's" and crossed our "t's".
Once the adoption was finalized and recognized by the state of Utah, we were able to be sealed :) It was a very special experience and it was great to have family and very close friends be there with us. And thanks to my 2 sisters who flew all the way up from Texas just to be with us for that.
After these 2 events, we must have been pictured out because we totally forgot to take pictures after Caleb's blessing the day after the sealing. Darren did a great job with the blessing - he is such a terrific dad. Again, it was fabulous to be surrounded by friends and family - THANKS to all have been part of this adoption experience for us. Thankfully, it is done now and we can just focus on being a happy family :)
