Filing

Today our lawyer filed paperwork in preparation for Samuel's final adoption decree. We will go to court soon to appear before a judge who will then make him a Kratzer. We thought today was the final deal, but it wasn't.

Almost Legal!

Our South Carolina lawyer just called to tell us that both NC and SC have approved our adoption! (The birth parents are SC residents, so any child they have is considered a SC resident even if born outside the state.) Right now, we are physical custodians; we go to Spartanburg next week to sign the papers making him a Kratzer.
