Parents of TWO!

It is done! We got the news the birthmom did sign off, the Adoption Deed is complete. We legally and officially belong to Gavin and he belongs to us! And it feels great, like a huge weight off our shoulder. Now we get to say things like, 'we are the parents of TWO boys', 'father of two', 'mother of two', 'hey meet our two boys', 'hey kid, where's your brother?' etc. What fun!

Now that the 'adoption' phase is complete, we move on to getting him out of Guatemala and to the US. The Adoption Deed has been submitted to the civil registry to have a new birth certificate drawn up with our last names. The new BC won't ready until next week. So that is what the next phase of waiting is. Of course Gavin's birth certificate comes from Guatemala City, the most populated city in the entire country, so it operates much slower because of the higher demand. (sigh)
We hope it will be processed quickly so we can move on the next step: Gavin's passport.

Hey here is a picture of my TWO sons. Now I have legal documentation to prove it! Ha!
