Becoming an Addink

One year ago today we attended court in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and the judge declared us the parents of Tufah!

 

Hi, I'm your mom now! Can you see how excited she is?

 

 

 

As you can see from Sophie's face, she was thrilled to become an Addink.

 

That day was filled with great joy, becuase we had passed court and she was "ours" forever. It was also filled with great sadness and trepidation. It was the last time we could be with our daughter until we were allowed to return two months later to bring her home. Happy Adoption Day Sophie! (I'll post new pictures tonight of our celebration.)
