Re-Adoption Day

December 7, 2010 was a very big day for this little girl and for our whole family! Exactly 4 months since arriving home from China, we completed Mia's re-adoption on U.S. soil. The entire proceedings took no more than 15 minutes, but it was a meaningful time for our family. All six of us were there and we were joined by our precious friends Christy and Jess and their girls, Layla & Alaina. Steve and I were asked a few basic questions and then I was asked to give testimony. I raised my right hand, was sworn in and took the stand. It was all very official and formal (and a little intimidating actually). The last question the judge asked me was, "Do you believe it is in Mia's best interest to be adopted into your family?" I responded with a resounding yes. Afterward, I was dismissed and the judge shared some very kind words about adoption and our family.


And then she ruled...


I see it fit for Mia Jane Hui ... to be adopted into this family.


And our little group of 10 erupted into cheers and clapping!

Thank you Jesus.

It's official!

The day continued with more excitement when we welcomed some special visitors bearing gifts and bagels from NJ...another post to come!
