We received a "Notice of Final Hearing" letter in the mail in December letting us know we have a court date for January 20th to finalize Wren's adoption! We are excited to have the date set and be so close to finishing this adoption! The court has allotted us 10 minutes by phone with the judge to finalize. It should be very quick and thankfully we don't have to fly to Florida for just 10 minutes in court!
Our lawyer should call us on January 20th a little before court is about to begin and give us a number to call into court. She will be appearing on our behalf. We then call in having our ID's and a notary present with us. We are supposed to be getting a paper in the mail any day now that we will sign in front of the notary during the hearing. The notary will swear (or affirm) us in, then the judge will ask us a few questions about the adoption and finally we will sign the papers. I believe thats how the process should go! Once that is done Wren will be our legal daughter!
Please pray for a smooth finalization! Thanks for all the prayers whispered on our behalf throughout the last few years. God has blessed us so much and Wren is the answer to lots and lots of prayers!!
Neat-o. How exciting!!
