Andrew and I were so blessed to be able to join our friends at the courthouse for the finalization of the adoption of their adorable little boy. Between family and church family, we filled the room, to the point that there were people standing in the aisle and the doorway! It was such an awesome amount of support.
All I had with me was the camera on my phone, so I had to steal some pictures from a friend.
The happy family after he is officially their son.
Afterward, we all headed back to church for a celebratory lunch. It all looked so cute.
It's such a reminder of God's love and his adoption of us into His family. We are so glad that we could be there to witness this adoption, and are so blessed to call them our friends.
1 John 3:1 - "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are."
What a special special day! It's beautiful to see all the love surrounding them!
