Adoption Day!

It's Official! Brennan is now Brennan Alma Borchert.

Brennan's adoption papers were signed yesterday (3/3/08). We went to court to testify about all of the issues we were concerned about and since Mr. Larsen didn't show up, they found him in default and terminated his rights. We are so happy- Don even cried! Brennan thought that we were crazy for being so emotional over a name change. There will have to be a discussion in the future about this issue, but that is best saved for when he's older and can understand better. Things couldn't have gone better- The judge even commented that Brennan was such a lucky child and that this was one of the days that he liked to see in court (everyone was happy with the outcome).

Just wanted to let everyone know!

WOW! I had no idea you guys were doing this. What a neat thing for Brennan and your family. I remember visiting you in the hospital when you gave birth to the little guy and now he is a little man. So happy for you.
