arrived at the courthouse. walked in with my parents, heather, and our friends nathan and laura.
soooo happy to see 'uncle' reed, 'aunt' emily and best friends piper + reese!
"GIGI! SHOAN!"
they brought entertainment while we waited.
better be the last time piper and eden are in a courtroom together….
our adoption worker in the grey sweater. we love her!
we had lots of friends and family there!
fixing daddy's tie. bless his heart.
my parents were on cloud nine!
our favorite picture of her.
getting bored...
getting piggy back rides from her godmother.
snuggling pampaw.
hi, piper!
my brother and eden.
we are really doing it!!!
it's done!!!
i said "umm can i hug you? is that acceptable?" and she was SO lovely!
i hugged my mom first.
and then my sister-in-law, jenna.
nathan and stefen doing the man thing.
and then i immediately walked out the doors to see my friend casey. heather surprised me with her being there. i thought she wasn't going to be able to come. and i hadn't really cried all day until this point.
they are one in a million.
brother hugs.
i'm over here still crying about casey.
my mother-in-law keeping watch over little sis.
this couple fostered eden's two biological sisters for a year and a half. needless to say we have had many hard conversations about whether or not this day would ever come. them being there was so special.
this picture sums up so much.
i love her from the deepest parts of my heart, brain, soul.
giving our attorney a big "thank you"…
and a hug.
and we are OUT OF HERE!
