Gotcha Day - Part Two

After a wonderful visit at the Gladney Center for Adoption, we took Lauren to an authentic Mexican lunch and then headed to the Tarrant County court house for our adoption hearing. The building was full of other adoptive families also coming to finalize. Just as you would imagine everyone was excited, smiling and truly grateful for such a special day.

Still waiting...zzzzzzzzzzzz



The court room was full of balloons, stuffed animals and childrens books for all of the new families. One by one we each took our turn in front of the judge.



Judge Hennigan was very kind and looked like an actor straight from a TV show. He told us his daughter and his grand-daughter were both named "Lauren" so I'm pretty sure we were his favorite family. Ha!



Next stop...Old Town Fort Worth.
