Finally

See the people in this photo?

They're all named Figueroa now! We went to court yesterday, and the boys' adoption is now complete and final! It was relatively quick and easy. We had to answer several basic questions from the judge, who was a very kind man. He granted all of our requests, which included a change of birth year for our oldest boys.

We've been together for just over eight months now, and it's hard to imagine life any other way. These five bring such great joy to our home. Adoption, of course, isn't easy for anyone, but it is so worth it. The wonderful times have surpassed the hard in spades. We're so very, very thankful for this family of ours!
