So we're already to go.. Cameras at the ready, smart outfits and pigtails plaited! Can't believe that its all done. This time last year we only knew the basics about the little girl who would change our lives forever.

How exciting, hope you have a great day. I think the day is very much what you make it and we all had a lovely time. My favourite memory is the judge introducing himself to AS and saying you must be :name: - AS then pointed to us in turn and said "this is mummy - this is daddy" - it was so perfectly timed  |

Well its all done and dusted..Short and sweet..
We met our SW and as Pink gave her a gift bag from us she said "Thank- you for finding my Mummy and Daddy"...The sw was gob smacked..In fact we all were!
The judge was lovely, she let Pink wear her wig, bang the gavel and sign her adoption certificate. She then presented her with a "Adoption Day" teddy bear.
We went to my parents after and we had chocolate cake and sang "Happy adoption day to you".We took lots of photos and recreated the picture that was taken when I was adopted. We then had lunch at the golden arches (McDonalds, a real treat!).
Tonight when Pink is tucked up safely in bed, we are opening the bubbles.. A perfect end to a great adoption day :-)

Lovely to hear, swimchic, all the best for the future. In Scotland it's the sheriff, not the judge, at ds1's hearing, our sheriff commented that it wasn't often that people were pleased with his verdicts! Ds2's sheriff joked to ds2 that all he needed to do now was rule on a pocket money level - ds2 didn't realise he was joking !
