I didn't know what to expect when Artem and I went to adopt the boys. We went without them to file the petitions that we had already filled out. We knew we had wanted to do this, but that didn't mean we had it all figured out yet. At least I didn't
Artem had said something about trying to get the right judge for our case. If that happened, then we would have no problem at all. I hoped that he was right. I also hoped that what he said about us being married making things easier for us regardless.
I just wanted to make the boys ours so that we could move on with our lives, and they would never have to fear their old families again. And somehow, Artem had received written consent and signed forms from all of their families that they relinquished custody of the children, and that they approved of the adoptions.
