8 Months ago we travelled to Korea to bring Naomi home. With a South Korean adoption we have to wait 6 months and have 3 reports sent back to Korea on how well Naomi is doing before we can legally adopt her. Today we went to Family Court down town Louisville and had our court proceeding to formally adopt her. The whole process took about 20 minutes. 
Our attorney, Teresa Kinberger, testified that everything was in order and all the papers were filed correctly and that we would be good parents. Naomi's Attorney also testified that he has met us (even if only for 10 minutes) and that Josiah and Naomi seem like happy well adjusted children and recommended that the court grant the adoption. After all the formalities both kids got to pick out a stuffed animal and then we got our picture taken with the judge and the attorneys. Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Melody were there to celebrate with us. Thanks Grandma for the very cute elephant for Naomi.
My son and DIL and both of us Grandma's just returned Sat. Nov 15 from China to get Malia, our newest granddaughter. She is so special.
