One Year Post Placement Report

We just had our one year interview post adopting Malia. One year!!! Our adoption social worker ended the report with this:

Malia appears to be thriving in the Parrish family home. She is developing physically, intellectually, and emotionally. There are no concerns regarding this placement. There are no referrals at this time. It is recommendation of this social worker that this placement continue.

This report and some family photos are sent back to China and that concludes our adoption paperwork. Hooray!
