Happy Adoption Day!

Today was a big day for me. I got to go to court with my family and get officially recognized as a McKeever. It took all of five minutes for the judge to ask my parents their names and other basic information and then ask if they were prepared to take on the responsibilities of parents. Luckily they answered all the questions right and the judge consented to the adoption. Grandma and Grandpa Lanz, Uncle Michael, Grandma Barb, Auntie Leah, Abi, Faith and Parker were all there to cheer when the judge made his decree. Then they all visited while Mommy and Daddy did some paperwork and paid some fees to get my new birth certificate and adoption certificate.

After court, everyone came back to my house to toast me, have some Adoption Day cake, and watch a slide show that my parents made for me. You can watch it here.
