JEREMY

It is finished!

One thing to know about adoptions is that it always seems like there is "one more process" to go through or one more paper to fill out.  Even when we thought we were at the end of it a year and a half ago there were still "more of this and that" and "wait another year for one more thing" before it's all completed.

Well, Friday AUGUST 20th we walked into the US court room, 

 said "I do" and the judge made it all official and complete.  

Not only is Jeremy always and forever recognized as one of the Youngs, he is also a US citizen.

Our judge was super nice.

We were thankful for the family members who sacrificed their time to come and support us and for those who wished they could be there.

Jeremy's cousin Edie on the left and his Grandma in the back...

Another wonderful grandma....

Jeremy's uncle and Grandpa...

His cousin Emery, Aunti-lolo, of course his sister and also his uncle...

Another picture of Emery 'cause she's just SO cute!

Already being a year 3 months since Jeremy's been home we no longer first think of him as the little guy we adopted but as...Jeremy.  I don't know how much that makes sense....but I guess it's not that we forget that he's adopted, it's that THAT is not what defines him to us anymore.  He's JEREMY, full of energy, curious about everything, always has something to say or ask (his nick-name: walkie-talkie), when he gets excited he gets loud...I mean LOUD and overflowing with excitement!  It just pours out of him.

This is our Jeremy.  This is who we love!
