We had a week that is difficult to put into words but I am filled with so much joy and happiness that I can't help but share it. It all started with a day in court where we had the opportunity to finalize our adoption of Landon. I was so nervous and according to Craig I was a little too nervous. But it was real, formal and official in the court room. Craig had an advantage because he is comfortable and has spent time in the court room. We were sworn in and questioned by our attorney (Craig's boss). The questioning required us to explain our relationship, and our ability to love and care for Landon as our own child. These questions are so easy for me to answer because my love for both Craig and Landon is unconditional but in front of a judge it is very different.
When he finally signed the paperwork, I felt so relieved and excited and spent the rest of my day in la la land admiring and snuggling my baby. There wasn't a moment during that day that I didn't think about Landon's birth parents and the incredible, selfless gift they have given to us. I am sure in the back of my mind I will always have them on my mind and the gratitude I feel towards them.
Even though this was an awesome and exciting day it in no way compared to the day we were sealed as an eternal family. When they brought him into the sealing room to us all dressed in white, my heart melted and the tears just flowed. He looked like an angel straight from heaven and even though we couldn't take a picture at that moment I will always have a picture in my mind.
