May 15, 2008 Alabama Re-adoption









On May 15, Gary , Sabrina & Emma had to appear before Judge Junkins to have Emma adopted in Alabama. Some states do not require you to do this but Alabama is one of the states that does. So now Emma is officially an Alabamian. After the Judge talked to Gary & Sabrina he turned to Cooper and asked him if he loved his little sister to which he replied. NO....we all laughed, then later he said he was just kidding he did love her.










When the Judge got there he told us he had been home sick, but got up to come to the adoption because it was such a happy time. He usually deals with more unpleasant situations. After the ceremony was over the Judge allowed pictures to be made. Their lawyer was getting us all together to make pictures, when he told us they were ready, Cooper immediately said he did not want his picture made with the judge he did not want to get sick. I think his dad was not very pleased...but I told him at least the judge would know it was not rehearsed what he should say..
