Not even 8 months old and Sienna has already been to court.
Don't worry, it was a good reason. She hasn't turned into baby clepto (although there are random toys that keep mysteriously showing up in her diaper bag). :)
Every December (usually) the Kent County Circuit Court saves up all it's adoption finalizations for one day. That day was Thursday, December 15.
Although I didn't necessarily feel like going to court it actually turned out to be a very neat thing. The judge stated that he loves working on this day because most families who come through his courtroom are getting torn apart...on this day a family was being made. He read a poem about adoption and then signed all the paperwork with his "adoption pen" (an outrageous pen with bows and jingle bells, it was quite hilarious). Finally, he came down and presented us with our paperwork and Sienna with a little teddy bear.
Seeing all the other families that were there, coming together in celebration was very cool and I couldn't help but feel eternally blessed.
Dan and I celebrated 8 years of marriage that week as well. Needless to say, I think that year 7 was our favorite. :)
