After a few moments of swearing to the fact that we all wanted the adoption to happen, and that I could be a good father, the judge signed the official documentation, and as of about an hour ago, after almost 10 years of it being the case de facto, Amy is now my daughter de jure as well.
I have a daughter! Yay!

Didn’t realize Brandy and the Judge were in the picture until I clicked on it, but yeah – Reb nailed it.

Yes indeed! A fine day with good people – and I also like the photo!
Thanks to everybody on the congrats! We are happy about it too.
And I liked that picture too. Got special permission from Brandy to use one that had her in it. :-)
And Brian… actually… um… unfortunately… yeah. That actually happened. Right after we got home from the adoption. (For an offense that was discovered as we were getting ready to drive to the adoption in the morning.) Oops.
Oh, and since my mom mentioned she liked the picture… I should mention that I neglected to mention that she took that picture. :-)
