We took an early morning trip downtown to the courthouse.
Today was Gus's official day in court.
Now, everything is absolutely legal...
all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed.
His name is officially
August David Cleland
and his birthday has been officially decided.....
October 16, 2010.
Gus was somber the whole time.
It was as if he knew what was taking place.
The orphan
who was abandoned on the streets of Ethiopia
has a permanent home....
a father and a mother, a sister and a brother.
The judge was quiet and condescending.
He wanted what David and Erika wanted.
Some papers were signed
and it was over.
Time for our picture with the judge (above),
and we were ushered into another room to wait for
documents.
Bubba and I were glad to be a part of such a
momentous occasion.
Afterwards we all went to I-Hop for pancakes.
Happy Day.
Thankful for this little boy and all he means to us.
Glad he bears our name
and has all the rights and privileges of a natural born son.
Adoption is wonderful.
God has adopted us to be His in Christ Jesus.
God is our Father.
He loves unconditionally.
Good news...
want to share it with you tonight.
