Adoption

Finalization tomorrow and a question!!

I have posted very, very sparingly after we were placed with our son because of trying to be super cautious with what I put out there but I just couldn't hold back any longer. We finalize tomorrow and I am so elated and relieved! For those of you that have finalized, what did you and your child wear to the hearing? I am second guessing my choices. We will have these pictures forever!! Lol.

  • Congrats!  That is super exciting!  I would wear something that you feel comfortable in and that makes you feel great!  Not those pants that are a little tight.  Or that dress that you always are tugging on.  I think you are comfortable in your clothes then the true emotions of the day will be able to show!
  • Well, that eliminates almost all of my wardrobe. Haha! I thought I would gain during the wait and don't get me wrong, I did, but I gained even more after we brought him home. Lol. I enjoyed all of the "you look great for having a baby" comments but I haven't gotten any of those comments for a while so I guess I have gained too much. (And for those of you that are waiting, when you finally have your child in your arms don't you dare try to correct the compliment. Just soak it all in!!) 

     Thanks for the comments above. I will definitely go the comfortable route!

      

  • I wore a black dress with a cardigan. DH wore slacks, shirt and a tie. DD wore a dress - she slept through the whole thing!
