The day he took my name

When I think back to the adoption path one of the happiest days for me was the day my son took my name. I remember going to Dr visits and feeling so strange that my child had another persons name. Knowing that he would wear my name was a really great day that I look back on with pride. It was also the finalization hearing and so after that, our adoption journey was complete. After having a struggle to get to that point the finalization hearing turned out to be uneventful. The judge called us back to his office, we took some pictures and we were done. Aiden was my son the day I took him home from the hospital but when he took my name it was my aha moment. A day I will always remember.
