today everyone got to miss school and we all went to the court house to sign adoption papers for Skila. it was so great! this is now the 5th time we have all went to go sign adoption papers for the members of the hatten family. its such a great celebration. a bunch of people/social workers come that have kinda walked through the whole process with us. its fun for them to come and see that a case has finally ended and the child is in a good home. after sitting in traffic for an hour and a half we finally got to the court house and all went through security and went up to the waiting area for our court room. usually it doesn't take to long but today everyone was on their own schedule so we ended up waiting another 2 hours to be seen by the judge. if you know anything about kids you know that you cannot tell them to just sit down and wait patiently and we will go in as soon as they call us. so everyone was getting a little antsy. finally some volunteers came and had some coloring pages for everyone so that was a good time passer (even i was coloring :)) finally they called us in. we all took a seat at a long table in front of the judge. the judge says his thing and my parents raise their right hand and say their thing. its really neat. then my parents sign the papers and bam! just like that she is officially adopted. she is now officially a HATTEN.
after everything is signed we all get to go where the judge sits and take a picture. so if you couldn't guess that is what this is a picture of. we then all went out to brunch to celebrate. Skila has been a joy to everyone she meets and im so glad to call her my sister. LOVE YOU SKILA MAY!!
