Just finished breakfast and doing everything in my power to keep it down. Why am I so freakin' nervous?
Well, I've been given the gift of gab from my dad -- a Toastmaster for decades. Because of this, I will be opening up in court and I will be the primary speaker. (JD had *no problem* giving me this privilege!!) With the female judge, you can choose who to speak and all our agency reps as well as the translator said it does not matter -- husband or wife -- whoever does most of the talking. She just likes to hear "the story" so I'll give it to her.
I hear JD in the other room "rehearsing" so I'm off to the shower for some peace and quiet before I find my place of solidtude to get my thoughts together.
Thanks again for all the wonderful thoughts here and on Facebook. They have given me the confidence that everything will be just fine. (Now if someone could tell that to my stomach, I'd be in GREAT shape!!)
K: If you only knew how much we love you and would do anything to bring you officially into our family. You're already in our hearts, little one, and wrapped around our fingers tightly. Can't wait to see you tomorrow as our daughter!! xoxoxo

Laura,
You know what's really cool? That it's 9:15 Thursday night in California - so when I wake up in the morning you and Jon will be parents. How awesome is that?

I agree....we will all have sweet dreams of your family of 3 and I will think of you first thing in the morning. Your sweet baby girl "toe head" will be home soon!
Love, Donna
I have been thinking about your court visit I know everything will go great. Can't wait to see K's ltitle face. Congrats Mom and Dad!!!! It was great talking to you yesterday. Beth
I did it too. You'll be/you are fine! Congratulations on another step being done to getting your baby!
Congrats Laura and JD. You have made it and are now parents. I am sure court went smoothly. When it was my turn I got so emotional it was hard to talk but we made it through. She is yours and soon she will be home.

I realize as I am writing to you - court is over!
Your nerves are entirely understandable. I opened, too. There was no problem with that. I do hope she was in a decent mood for you today. Our experience was not bad at all, but I know others were really drug through the mud.
Hope you're celebrating and enjoying your earliest moments of (legal) parenthood!
Still praying...

We are thinking of you and wishing you all the love and happy thoughts for your family! I can't wait to see all three of you back in Chatsworth in your home.
