Officially Paulsen

Officially a family forever

Yesterday was a big day in our home; Heather, Logan, & Zach became official. Wow adoption is such a rollercoaster ride that I never thought would end. The kids have been with us for almost a year but unlike international adoption you do not get to officially adopt the children until they have been with you for a while. Our meeting with the judge was fairly quick since our lawyer had everything ready to go but we can officially say they are ours forever now. Our wonderful social worker also joined us for the celebration and so did my dad.
I know the kids were super happy and we are super happy that we get to share our lives with these children and will hopefully led them down a path that will make them successful adults. We don't want anyone to take our use of the term succesful as meaning in terms of money but what we want for our kids is for them to become caring, responsible, and understanding people who try their best to make the world a better place. We are excited that we get to lead these children on their journey through life. God has blessed us so much and hopefully we will take care of his children to the best of our ability.
