Adoption Progress?

Yesterday we had a petition filed at our county courthouse to adopt Charlie. In actuality, it's just another step in a process that seems to be road-blocked... with an invisible block that I suspect is completely unnecessary. We are really hoping that we can get this done before the baby comes so that it is a separate occurrence for Charlie, and to help give him his place before our family is extended. In actuality, I don't know how much this really matters to Charlie... who already considers himself a full member of the family. (As do we, but he doesn't really understand what will change with the word "adoption".)

So keep your fingers crossed for us... we are now just waiting for everything to be done on the state's end.
