Well, William officially has two legal Moms! 
The judge wouldn't take a picture with us (she apparently had a bad social media experience with an adoption pic), but we took a pic with our lawyer outside the courthouse. Then our lawyer gave Will a stuffed Girraffe with her firm's logo on it!
We are official!

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
