Esther's Finalization, April 18th

Esther is officially a Morgan!  Esther's adoption required a finalization process similar to Isaiah. However, her court process took place in Florida so thankfully we were able to do a teleconference. We just needed to be in the presence of a Notary.  We asked Kathie (our Holt social worker) if we could meet her at her office Thursday morning to do the teleconference.

We asked Nonna and Pops to come as our photographers for the special occasion...

We were all watching as Isaiah dialed.

My adorable Esther baby!

We called at our scheduled time, but the judge wasn't ready for us so we waited on hold for awhile.

Isaiah got a little antsy during the waiting and process of the phone call so he....

Hung out on the couch...

Watched the traffic outside...

Nonna videoed our conversation with the judge.

And just like that the call was over and we are blessed to be Esther's parents!

We attempted to get a couple family photos before leaving....
