More Meltons!!!: December 2009
http://moremeltons.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Read about our fabulous family of six starring Mark, Tessa, Alexa Aster and Liana Burtu! Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Court in the Chi. Today the fam headed to the Daley Center for our refinalization appearance. As we had never met the girls before the adoption was finalized in Ethiopia, they came to the United States on a visa that required refinalization here for citizenship and such. We had a really wonderful attorney. Some themes totally stood out today:. Sunday, December 20, 2009. 11/15/07- Dossier...

Read about our fabulous family of six starring Mark, Tessa, Alexa Aster and Liana Burtu! Monday, October 26, 2009. Four months and counting!
