Its Adoption Day!! *Finalization*

If some of you are confused on the title.. this below explains a little better.
December 4th will forever be one of the best days of our lives!!
"An adoption is finalized when all of the necessary post-placement requirements have been met. When people ask, “When does the adoption become final for the adopting parents?” In most adoptions, the final adoption hearing occurs around six months after placement, although some hearings can happen as little as three months or up to a year after placement."
"Traditionally, adoption finalization occurs in a courtroom, although more and more judges are offering final adoption hearings over video-call or phone call. Your adoption specialist and adoption attorney will work together to schedule this hearing and ensure you are prepared for any questions that may be asked during this process"
We love you all so much!
DALLIN AND BELLA

[@user-qg1sm5vr5f]

Watching your adoption scam video in the summer at 8 months pregnant broke me. Now I’m watching your adoption confirmation video as I nurse my 2 month old. Where did the time go? Congratulations Dallas and Bella. Story was always meant to be yours 💖

[@mrs.elentz2336]

My youngest is 2mo old, DOB 10/11 ❤

[@aryanakurillo3536]

That little girl is gonna live her best life...❤

[@DrBella]

Your grandparents dressing up is the highlight of my day, grandpa even wore a shirt and tie. That’s so heartwarming, May the blessings of this season shine through your family ❤️

[@LindaY26]

As an adoptive mom to 3 girls and 1 boy, I cried watching the adoption. There is no better feeling than when the judge declares that we are that child’s forever family. People always tell us how lucky we are, not realizing that we are the lucky ones, the blessed ones. Congratulations on finalizing the adoption! ❤️

[@divine5582]

Anyone else who got teary as the judge read it out loud?? Congratulations.. God bless your amazing family ❤❤🎉🎉

[@lindsay32031]

I don’t think I’ve ever cried happy tears for any family more than I have for yours. Thank you for sharing with us ❤️

[@WorksofWhimsyCrochetCo]

Literally same

[@ColebugCubby]

Yes I am so happy. This family touches so many other people and is a true blessing.

[@joannvalencia4623]

I cried, too. I remember the night we took our little Angel home and made all of us exceedingly happy as the youngest member of our family. She is now 17 and a very sweet and loving girl.

[@ourlittlestory6878]

Congratulations! This video brought back such great memories and happy tears of our adoption finalization 11 years ago. The words “as if she were born to both of you” were also my favorite words from our hearing. What a blessing adoption is!

[@larisajackson5898]

I was just going to say the same thing, ours was 10 years ago now

[@jennyross5369]

Ours was 15 years ago❤

[@Mindy12836]

I love how even all the grandparents are dressed up for the zoom! So sweet!

[@klmegm197682]

It's heart-warming to hear Story verbalize her adoption journey. Children absolutely are a precious blessing that brings so much joy and love into our lives.

[@user-qm3yw2xw6e]

As an adopted person, adopted at 6weeks old, i can tell you it was the biggest blessing of my life. You guys are a beautiful little family, love and hugs to you all. Bella carried her baby in her heart in oppsose to under her heart.

[@carolschultz3588]

Two of our children came to us through adoption. I remember those days so vividly. They are now 35 and 26. I also have a daughter that was born to us she is 23. Yes after many rounds of infertility treatments. I became pregnant at 40 and had her at 41. I would never change a thing about those wonderful experiences. Bella you might have said it best. Our children healed our hearts. Adoption finalization allows one to exhale.❤

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

Her little face is just beyond adorable! She says so much with those little eyes! God cannot have given you a more beautiful child and she’s so healthy. She looks like your baby.❤

[@cindya4331]

My wish is that all children should have such loving parents 🙏🏼

[@geraldinerowe2012]

I think tiny humans are so receptive. The way story started making extra noise when the judge was announcing everything as final def got the tears flowing for me ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jordanlyons7294]

So excited for you all! My husband and I just got home study approved and are waiting for our miracle ❤

[@suziegiggles8589]

I adopted my daughter who i talked her 16 year old birth mother out of aborting. I am infertal. I couldn't have children like 7% of all other couples. I adopted my half black half white daughter and I know what it feels like to finally be a mother. My daughter, like both her 16 year old birth mother and 15 year old birth father went to college and became math teachers. My daughter is so amazing, she is so resealable. So amazing. Such an amazing person. I am so blessed by God for her. I am so happy for you . I forgot our court hearing until I seen this.

[@pimmspimms5462]

[@maciklawetter2462]

Congratulations to your beautiful family! I'm usually a silent watcher (minus the likes), but I had to comment on this one since it is so close to my heart. I was adopted at 9 months old on July 21st 1997 and it has been the biggest blessing for the past 27 years. Your journey is special and thank you all for being vulnerable and sharing it with the world. I believe you guys will bring so much hope and healing to so many out there who have gone through similar seasons. Praying for the Lord to bless your family abundantly. Also, that song had me crying in my office on a random Wednesday so thank you LOL. So incredibly happy for your sweet family.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I’m so happy for you. Story is just a beautiful addition to your family and is such a blessing. She’s a happy girl and I think she even looks like Bella. 😊
