On Monday, April 26, 2010 our adoption became FINAL. It was such a special day for us. Drew's Mom joined as well. Like Sloane's birth it was a little nerve wracking for a few minutes. The judge was 45 minutes late and I kept worrying he would never show up! He did and ended up being the nicest man. At the end when he is supposed to announce everything is final he told us to wait and called my MIL back into the chambers. She came out in his robe and got to say to saying ... "the State of SC hear by grants you this adoption"... It was really special.

After it was final! We were so excited!

Our adoption lawyer Ray Godwin. We owe him everything for bringing this baby girl into our lives!

When we got home these beautiful flowers were waiting on us from Rena. She is so thoughtful and so special to us. She is also going to be Sloane's Godmother along with my friends Shannon and Whitney.
