Mia is a Buckeye!


Today was Mia's refinalization (readoption) hearing. We went to the courthouse where Mia was pronounced officially ours in the state of Ohio. She will receive an Ohio birth certificate (like her bro and sis) in a few weeks. The judge even gave the kids stuffed bunnies to celebrate the event. Grandma "Dots", Grandpa "Goofy", and Grandpa John even joined us for the big event. We celebrated afterward with Chinese at Yu's where Mia ate up the noodles she still loves!

And, a big thank you to Fu Friend Claire for the outfit tip. So cute!


Everyone waiting at the courthouse.

We love Chinese food!

Congrats! And how cool that all of your kids will have Ohio birth certificates in spite of all of your moves.
