Finalization

Today the Cornelius family officially became a family of 4! We finalized Ellie's adoption today! We want to express our thanks to our AMAZING birth parents and birth grand-parents, our caseworker and attorney, and to the MANY people who prayed and hoped to see our family grow. We feel blessed to be a part of another adoption and are grateful for the journey we've had this past year! We love our precious Miss Ellie and are so grateful that she came to our family the way she did. :)

Our Attorney, Autumn, while waiting for our Adoption Decree in the Clerk's office. We're so glad she's there to help navigate all the legal paperwork for us. :)

Thanks to our caseworker, Jared, who went above and beyond in so many ways!
