Finalization

After 9 years of waiting for a perfect baby to come into our arms, and after 3 years waiting to be chosen to be adopted parents, and after waiting 4 months for a baby Jack to be born, and after waiting for 6 months to make it finalized, IT IS!!

We went to court to day to have Jack Allen South become officially in our family. We were scheduled at the Scott Matheson Court Building down town, where we met up with Les England our Attorney, Shannon our LDS Family Case Worker, My Mom, Jeremy's parents and grandpa and then Judge Glen Iwasaki. Our appointment time was scheduled for 8:40 and we were done at 9:00.

After court we went to Breakfast/Brunch at the Original Pancake house and celebrated. We are so thankful to have Jack in our family and in our lives, we can't imagine what our lives would be without him.

The next step in his life is to get him Sealed to us for time and all eternity which we will be doing that on Saturday December 5 and then his blessing which Jeremy will administer to him on Sunday December 6.
