We made it to the courthouse, saw the judge and made it official. Judge Erlick was very sweet. He swore us in, asked some questions and we said a lot "yes." Harper preferred to spend most of the hearing in Nana's lap and Windham just blew spit bubbles with an occasional coo for emphasis. It lasted 15 minutes and at the end, we were officially a family. Harper is now legally Harper Nevaeh Holliman and Windham Porter Holliman is now, in the eyes of the law, my son too.
We headed home to a house full of friends and family. We saw some friends we hadn't seen in awhile and the neighborhood came out in force. It means so much to me that so many people truly love our kids. We ate, we drank, we laughed, we even brought Eliza out for a ride at the end of the evening.
By the end of the night we were exhausted, relieved, overjoyed at the love and support we have and simply happy we are legally a family.
