Alli's cousin Lainey became an "official" member of our family this last Tuesday!!!!! Lainey has truly been in our family for well over a year, but this was the actual adoption day (or GOTCHA day as adoptive parents like to call it). The court hearing was short and sweet, but oh so meaningful. I'm so grateful that Alli and I were able to be there for it. Lainey, we all love you so very much and are truly blessed to have you in our family.
Lainey with mom & dad (April & Russell), big sister Maddy, and the judge
The whole happy clan from L to R: Lainey's Grandad, the caseworker, Great Aunt Elaine (Lainey's namesake), Gavin on Pawpaw's shoulder, Aunt Marcie, Aunt Julie holding Alli, Grandma, April, Russell & Maddy... and sitting on the judge's desk- that of course is our precious Lainey who was too busy ripping the gavel in two pieces to look at the camera! Good thing the hearing was already over by that point :-)
