We finally broke down and did it. We applied for Domestication. This is the final step of Morgan’s adoption. We didn’t really do it exactly right but we did it all the same. We made copies of everything related to the adoption and just kind of dumped it off at the county court house, Oh as well as $150 filing fee (someone has to make money off this). For the record I was the driving force behind getting it done so if it’s wrong it’s my fault. I’m hoping that they take pitty on us and say “OK looks like more than everything is there, Granted”. We still need to drop off some paperwork to DHEC and wait about 30 days before this is final and we expect a phone call from the county court house asking us “what is all this stuff”. Thanks to a friend now we know. So by the end of July or early August we will be completely done with Morgan’s adoption. We won’t wait this long for Isabelle I can tell you that.
Get this when we went in to submit for domestication the lady at the counter took one look at me and asked me if I was here for Child Support payments. I quickly replied “no, not that I know of”. Didn’t know I had that look about me. Couldn’t she see I was pushing Morgan around in the stroller with my wife following us. Oh well you’d be surprised at how people mistake me for all sorts of things I’m not. Must be something about me, but it’s not my problem.
