We've been a family for a year but the Rhode Island courts made it official! We finalized Desi's adoption thanks to a last minute change of heart by her birth mother - she voluntarily relenquished her rights and let us proceed with the adoption without the additional 15 months of appeals we had anticipated! What a gift!
Desiree Ruth del Rosario was so christened by the courts on June 28, 2007! During the proceedings, when I was asked by our attorney if she had assimilated into our family, Desi echoed "absolutely!" with such enthusiasm even grumpy Judge Mudder couldn't help but laugh. This event was made even more special as Grandma and Grandpa were there to share in the special day!
We have been blessed with two amazing, beautiful, happy, loving children finding their way to us.
Our family is full and happy; we thank you all for your love and support that helped us get to this day.
