Finalizing Caedmon's Adoption

Yesterday, we took the final step of bringing Caedmon into our family, when we showed up at the King County Courthouse to finalize his adoption -- in the same room where my niece's adoption was finalized eight years ago. I've posted some pictures here, but a selection follow: Some twenty people ended up joining us at the courthouse for the finalization, ranging from our pastor and his wife (with their adopted son), my adopted sister and her husband, and their adopted daughter.
