Its Finally here... Finalization time!!!

We were so very excited for finalization day.  And to make it even more special, it actually happened on Xanders 6 month birthday.  How Fun!  We have been waiting for such a long time to be able to have a sweet little one in our family.  While Xander has been ours from the minute he was born..... NOW ITS OFFICIALLY LEGAL!!!!  WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! simply doesnt even begin to cover it!  The court was pretty quick and simple.  Our attorney had a good time asking us the questions and even got a little playful on few asking if Eldon was born on April Fools Day (which he was) rather than April 1.  He also had to ask if Xander had property or inheritance (standard question to ensure that is not the reason that we are adoption him).  So our attorney asked if other than toys and clothes, whether or not Xander had any property to speak of.  We had a little chuckle at that.  It was amazing to hear the gavel bang and here to judge say that it was ordered that he legally be named Xander James Larson, and that he was officially ours! Such a sweet day.  We are so grateful to everyone involved in the adoption that helped us to get to this day, and we are especially grateful for Xanders birth family.  They have been so amazing and so supportive the entire time.  We couldnt have been blessed with a better situation and we hope that they know how special they all are to us and what an amazing gift they have given us..... this precious little boy but also, the addition of life long friends that we love and cherish almost as much as this sweet little boy.
