Today was Asher's readoption hearing in the county court. Our whole family took part and though some of us were a little nervous the event was actually quite fun! We were asked the typical questions of how long has he been in our family? Was the adoption overseas completed? And how does he do with our family?
But there was one question that we weren't expecting and that was: Is there anything else that I need to know about Asher to help me make my decision to approve his readoption. We considered this a formality so we weren't ready to give reason for his approval on our adoption. Taken back Brad did an awesome job at stating Asher's need for a family and our desire for him to be in our family. My thought - We ain't shipping him back! After the formalities we spent time taking pictures and answering questions that the judge had about our choices in our adoption and why we decided to adopt. He was very sincere in wanting to know.
Afterwards we went to IHOP to celebrate and then took everyone to school and work. But we all did so with extra energy and joy from this awesome experience!

OK- you guys are incredible! I am amazed you have done this already...Love the photos!
Love this. I have to admit I'm am not very knowledgeable about all that you had to do in an adoption. Is that the Judge you took a picture with? What a great time. Happy belated re-adoption day. We love you all.
