for good

We just had our court date in Ethiopia. It almost seemed too simple a procedure, after all the paperwork and the year-plus waiting time for the referral... There were a few questions and it was over. It took less than five minutes.

At the end, reminding us that our decision would be irreversible and irrevocable, the judge asked us whether we accepted the baby as ours. We answered, 'yes'. Then the judge said, "I don't have any more questions for you. She is yours for good."

For good, indeed.
