We got it.

A date for finalization of our adoption. The date it will all be over and it will all be just beginning. The date we will be legally declared a family.

February 27, 2007. What a beautiful day.

The party will probably be March 3, the following Saturday. Consider yourself invited.

I can’t believe it is finally here.We told Speedy about signing papers and I think he really got it. The conversation went something like this:

Me: Speedy, mommy and daddy signed some very important papers today. They said that we wanted to be your mommy and daddy forever and ever and ever.

Speedy: HUGE grin

Me: the papers said we want you and Princess to live with us forever and ever and ever

Speedy: even BIGGER grin

Me: Do you want to live with mommy and daddy forever?

Speedy: YAY! YES! for-eva and eva eva

Me: Do you remember living with mommy___ and daddy___?

Speedy: Yes

Me: Do you remember when someone came and took you to live somewhere else?

Speedy: Ya

Me: Well, these papers said that can never happen now. You will always live with mommy and daddy and sissy.

Speedy: jumping up and down, YAYYYY! all the while having the biggest smile on his face!

Me: Go tell daddy!

Speedy: Daddy! i gunna liv mommy daddy for-eva eva eva!!! Yay!!!

Me: In a few weeks, we’ll go talk to the judge and tell him we all want to be together and then he’ll say, “you’re a family”

Speedy: YAAAAy! le’s go see da judge

You had to be there. it was really sweet.

It was really cute. I think he was really able to understand that he would not be going anywhere else.
