It's Official!!

We had our day in court on Thursday, January 29th, to finalize Tagg's adoption. Grama and Bompa Harmer, Nana Compton, Aunt Tiff and Auntie Leese were all able to join us in the judge's chambers for the big day...which was actually pretty uneventful. They asked some basic questions of us and Jodi, our contact from the adoption agency who has been with us since day one. She's darling and we were so happy that she was there to help us finish what we started over a year ago with her. Tagg was a perfect angel the whole time. He was pretty fascinated with his cool new shoes which were not only styling, but made a great toy!

We are so overjoyed to have all the final documentation and legal mumbo-jumbo completed, but at the end of it all we looked at each other and knew...nothing has changed. Tagg has been our son since the day he was born and was placed in our arms.

We love him more than life itself and are so thrilled that he is "officially" part of our family. We pray for his birth family's peace and happiness every day, and hope that they always know what a wonderful and amazing gift they have given to us and our family.

(PS...a little video of Tagg at his cousin Ashley's 2nd birthday party where he decided he liked fish and slides and ball pits. We like to call their basement the Harmer Chuck E Cheeze because they have so much fun stuff!)
