It's Official

On Wednesday, April 2nd at 3:00p.m., it became official. Something we already knew in our hearts....Braxton was declared Braxton Alastair Williams. The Judge asked if we had anything to say....all I could say was thank you, needless to say I was a bit choked up. Paul was amazing and expressed our gratitude and love the for the little man that changed our lives!!!

We had our picture taken with Susan, our counselor who helped us through the ups and downs of the entire adoption process.

It is a bit blurry, but I wanted to share a picture of some of the family that were able to make it at such short notice. We know that everyone one else were there, in thoughts and prayers....

At the end of the big day, a picture of Braxton with his bear that he got from the Judge. The Judge read an amazing poem that I would love to share with all of you....

I Did not plant you,

True,

But when the Season is done-

When the alternate Prayers for sun

And for rain Are counted-

When the pain of wedding

And the pride

Of watching are through-

Then

I will hold you High

A shining sheaf

Above the thousand seeds grown wild

Not my planting,

But by Heaven

My harvest-

My own child
