We just came back from court where a judge issued the Final Degree of Adoption. We only did this so we could get an Alaskan birth certificate. It would have been difficult to try and register her in school or girl scouts or whatever with her Chinese birth certificate even though it is translated. So after a ridiculous amount of paperwork, money and idiocy (on the clerks part) we finally went to court today and she is now an official Alaskan.
This marks the end of 5 years of paperwork, red tape, bureaucracy and hemorrhaging money. It feels like there should be a choir of angels singing!

YAY!!! I think of you once in a while, someday I will get back to Alaska!!
Congrats!
Can't wait to see photos of summer in Alaska.
For awhile there my blog had a current post older than yours!
I had to come find you because you made me laugh today. First of all, your kid is scrum. Second of all, before I got married, I meant to send an email to my mom about how pushy my future MIL is and how I didn't want her to come with us to Crate and Barrel to register for the wedding. Of course, the email went to my future MIL by accident. It wasn't pretty. I thought you'd get a kick out of that. Hope your cramps are better!
