We had the final parentage hearing for Kathleen today up in Madison. [livejournal.com profile] daisy_knotwise and I are now officially her parents.

And Gretchen and Katie are upstairs taking a nap. Or at least they were before Katie woke up looking for her bottle. :)

Excellent! Having a baby to take care of is distraction enough all by itself. :)

Yay-hoo!

I assume Kathleen was impressed by the Judge.

I'm vaguely disturbed that you had to go through all these hoops to be officially parents. But I gather that you knew you'd be facing this when you went into it, so... Congratulations on slaying the paper dragon!

I evidently missed the beginning of all this. What hoops were those exactly? Seems odd that a hearing would need to be held on parentage if Gretchen actually gave birth to the child.

Actually, I have failed at the essential purpose of femalehood. We outsourced.

GHR

That the true test of "who is the parent" happens AFTER the birth, not before or during. This stood me in good stead when kid #1 had an "outsourced" delivery. (I like that, and will probably steal it.)

Please don't think of yourself as a failure in anything. But "outsourced"...I take it you mean a surrogate? I'm just trying to get up to speed with everyone else (Last-to-Know Leger strikes again!).

For some reason, I first read the subject as "Pants -- Officially Now". o.O

But the parents thing is pretty cool. Congrats!

Or, as I remember Naomi Pardue used on the birth announcement of her years-awaited daughter, on a December 7th (don't ask me how long ago)...
