Praise the Lord, Zoe Faith is officially a Medal! Our adoption was finalized today by the judge in the picture below. She was so sweet and good humored, and she even gave each of our kids hugs. :) It has been neat to see just how many mercies the Lord has showed us throughout our adoption process, and we definitely count our judge and attorney among them.

Here are a few other pictures of Zoe that I've been saving up (we weren't allowed to post pictures online while we only had temporary custody of Zoe). Most of the pictures go backwards in time (the ones here at the top are newest, and as you go down lower, they get older).

Newborn snuggles with Daddy
Zoe practically lived in this Moby wrap for the first two weeks of her life. She was doing some serious bonding, and it kept her warm during those cool Spring days.
