Court date!

So today was our court date! We were supposed to meet with our attorney last night but, I guess we missed him because we kept Nathaniel in our room all to ourselves all day! So, we had no idea what time we would be going to court...either morning or afternoon. So we got ready before 8am and went down stiars to find out if anyone knew when we were going. It ended up being in the afternoon which, was fine because that gave us a few more hours to spend with Nathaniel before we had to go.

When we left for court, we had to leave Nathaniel at the guest house with the nannies. They took good care of him but, I still hated to leave him.

I had heard from some other families that usually the wait at court is very long. So we were expectin to be there a while. We were in this waiting room with like 30 chairs and people just kept coming in.  A young girl came out of the door beside me and called a name.....no one answered....then she called another name....no one answered and she closed the door. After a couple minutes she opened the door and called us (and another family that was with us) into the room with the judge. We were first....I couldn't believe it and I had no idea what to exect!

It was short and simple! She just asked us all a few questions, we answered "yes" or "no", then she said that we would pass court when Nathaniel's birth mother came (so because she hadn't came yet, we didn't actually pass court this day!)

We went back to the guest house and spent the evening with our baby boy.
