"My husband and I, we got married in 2005. I have a daughter and he wanted to make sure she was a part of the family - he wanted to adopt her. The day of our marriage, my husband gave me my wedding ring. To my daughter's surprise, he presented her with a silver necklace with a heart. And he called her to him and made a promise to her and told her that with our marriage being complete, she's brought into the fold.

We didn't start the process of the adoption until June of that year. The plan was just like a heaven-sent because we needed to have the process started but we knew that it was going to be a lot of money.

So about halfway through the process we met with the judge and found out that she wanted to do a little more bit more investigating. Our attorney had to walk us through that because we were hoping that it would be finalized, but the judge wanted to do more due diligence.

Just in the last four days, everything's worked out where it's completed. We are moving forward with our lives and we are very happy."
