Cecie is officially Cecilia Rose Hermus!
The folks down in IL finally got their act together and a judge signed the papers. My lawyer did have to help them consolidate all of their files on us because they couldn't find another document they needed (dead serious), but their efforts paid off and they were able to get everything they needed all in one place so the judge could seal the deal.
Phew.
Our quest to become a family of 4 started almost exactly 4 years ago. It's interesting to think about how that quest has just {POOF} come to a close. Of course much of those 4 years felt anything but fast, but looking back I feel like it went by in the blink of an eye. Suddenly our six month wait is over, Cecie is formally ours, all adoption business is done and we just get to move on with our lives.
Oh, happy day! :)
