Today was the BEST DAY! In the state of Pennsylvania, if you do not travel to get your child, you must go through a readoption. The past few months, Mario has had a green card and has been considered a legal alien. TODAY: It is official! He is an AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!!!!! He is Officially Mario Patrick Lesko! He is officially ours! We are officially DONE! Thank the LORD.
Last year at this time we were praying for a child to come into our lives. We had just signed our paperwork for the agency and were hoping for a referral. We were nervous about starting the process that we were not entirely sure would result in a child in our home at the end. What a difference a year makes. 
What is THIS Dad... MY FLAG? Cool!
USA! USA! USA!
WHAT?!? I am having to go to COURT? I did not even DO anything!

My sissy got to come to the hearing and get out of SCHOOL!
I love when she hangs with me!
I have never seen mom in panty hose... she looks funny!
Hey, wasn't that lady at our house on Sunday for our social worker visit? She is nice.
This lady in the black bathrobe said she adopted one of my Guat peeps, too! She is the COOLEST Evah!
My mommy and daddy had to 'testify,' and mama CRIED! Alli thought the whole thing was like Judge Judy without the yelling! All I know is my parents were SO happy when it was over!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
