IT'S FINAL

At 9:45 this morning we (Jaren, Mark, Me, and both of our parents) met our lawyer and Jaren's birthmom at the courthouse. We then went upstairs and waited about 20 min. for the lawyer. He came in, asked if we had any questions, signed his name, congratulated us, and told us it would be about 10 weeks before we got his birth certificate, which we have to have to apply for a social security card. It was very anti-climatic, but AMAZING!!! We are so excited with everything. It all went so smoothly. We were blessed with this whole scenario from my friend who thought of us, to Jaren's birthmom and her entire family. What an amazing experience. And one we will hopefully get to experience again soon.
