The Washington County Courthouse is in Stillwater, so we decided to make a bit of an afternoon of the occasion and went out for a late lunch to Nacho Mamas afterward to celebrate.
David must have decided to test Addison's Gafford-ness by swapping her bottle with hotsauce. I don't think she minded :-)
We have so much enjoyed having Addison be a part of our family and I was just thinking this morning I don't think I could love her any different had I delivered her myself. I think the only difference would be that I would have different memories leading up to her birth. She has brought such tremendous joy to our lives and we are so thankful for her every day.

Great reflections Melissa.
Congratulations on the legal process being done! What a great picture with the judge. She is just so precious.

You should Paintshop out the bottle cap!
Hi! I saw your post on MoneySavingMom! What an inspiration!! Thanks for sharing your story.
We adopted our son at 2 days old and now he's almost 3. We'd love to do it again, but there is that money dilemma, we'll see....
Adoption is certainly a miracle!!!
Congrats!!
Just saw your post on Money Saving Mom - what an amazing story of God's provision - all the way around! Friends of mine recently started a wonderful site for adoptive families - you may want to check it out. http://www.wearegraftedin.com/
Another visitor from MoneySavingMom. I love your story and the way God provides is amazing. For others wanting to adopt without spending thousands of dollars, foster-to-adopt programs are another avenue. We have adopted both ways and it has been a blessing beyond measure.
