Enter the Lucky Couple
Joe and Olivia Hope Church enter the marriage registration room. The regular adoption official was not there and this official was nice enough to fill in.
Running from the BaBa
Olivia is a very happy, fun, beautiful little girl with boundless energy. She learns very quickly and can tire four old people out (or at least the one carrying her). Move over Sophia the new queen is coming.
More Paperwork
Do not get in a hurry if you want to adopt a child. Most of us have enough love to gie the child, or at least we like to think so but the patience to go through everything rquired is astounding. Not something a family should rush into. Hats off to those that do it.
More Paperwork
Even the adopted child gets involved in filling out the paperwork. With a red inkpad Olivia adds her identity to the adoption papers.
Almost Done
Except for recording this at the notary public (another two hours this afternoon) this fingerprint seals it.
The New Church
Meet the newest official member of Joe and Alicia Church's family, Oliva Hope. Next Monday we get to start the whole process again with Luke!
