Joe's adoption

Because of how the adoption ended up in Ukraine, Joe had to adopt Vacya here in Michigan. The new adoption was finalized on November 25th. It was Michigan Adoption Day and there were about 18 kids that were adopted during the special court session that was held. Vacya got a cool light-up pen that the judge used to sign the order of adoption and he got to use the gavel to adjourn his case. He thought that was pretty cool.

WOW. What a cool picture. Look at the judge's face. What an incredible difference from the expressions of the judges in Ukraine. It is wonderful to have that picture to hold on to and remember the positive parts!
