We opted not to have any sort of party for the adoption. But we DID do adoption announcements this month and it made our hearts smile to do so. It also made our hearts smile to hear from all the hearts smiling upon receiving one. Joy multiplied!
Also official, is the fact that along with her new birth certificate, we now have her new social security card with a brand spanking new number, thankyouverymuch. Also, also official, is that her new name has been finally updated with insurance, so now we are free to update her name all over town at doctors and pharmacies and registrations and school (which we already did - ha!) and church (which was the first place we updated her name and it was JOY to do so).
There's not a shred of Carr hanging onto her/us now. We are not a foster family or a custodial placement. We are just plain Brown Party of Five. Thank you, Lord!
