Scarlett Beatrice officially is our daughter! Today we drove to Houston, Mississippi where a very sweet and kind Judge Burns issued Scarlett's adoption certificate and gave his decision that she would be our daughter forever more. Wow. It all happened very quickly but at the same time it feels like it took years to get here. Wait. It DID take years to get here. So nice that this is where we ended up.
After court, we drove back to Columbus, with our attorney, to get our paperwork processed at the Chancery Court's office. We took that paperwork to the post office, to send off for her birth certificate. We figured we'd let her mail it herself.
Then our super nice postal worker decided Scarlett needed a special stamp:
And lastly, I will leave you with one more photo of our girl and the lady-like way she likes to sit in her stroller......

Happy Day!!! Congratulations!!! She is such a little celebrity, so adorable, I LUV her dress and the stamp on her arm is so cute! xoxo
CONGRATULATIONS! Adoption Day is the best! We are so happy for you.
And I'm personally glad that telling William why today is special for you sparked a brief discussion with him about what the whole adoption process was like and why it takes awhile to finalize.
What a wonderful day. Congratulations to you all!
I love the special stamp she received and sitting like a lady is overrated when you're one. :)
What a special day for a special family! Congratulations to you all.
Congratulations!!!!! It's official!
Loved the last picture!
I am jealous of her shoes and her dress and the fact that she gets to sit like that and just pee her pants! I guess I will have to wait my turn . . .
