After disappointment in May, the judge received all the proper paperwork and granted our adoption last month. I wasn't really sure if they understood the significance of the day, but the night before, Amber said to Jason, "Tomorrow is adoption day! We're getting adopted...we're going to officially become a Leeds!" Jason then replied, "We're going to become a fish?!?" So, Amber gets it...Jason not so much :)
After the trip to the courthouse, the children received an adoption day gift: memory boxes, in which to store our new memories together and name plaques, with their new adoptive names. We then celebrated as a family at Putt Putt Golf and Games - not a round of golf was played, but this particular place had rides...and we got non-stop passes. Jacob loved the planes, Amber and Jason loved the go-karts. They must have raced each other 15 times. Jason was a natural...he would pass Amber, taking the inside lane on the turns. Maybe a future Mark Martin on our hands?
