You were 1999 Toyota Camry Solara, and I was just a 23-year-old boy. It was the love at first sight. For over five years you granted me shelter along the highway of my life. My favorite car. My ONLY car!

Per numerous requests I’m posting a copy of all the adoption forms as well as instructions on how to fill them out. I got these from the 3rd District Court in Salt Lake City. Yours might be a little different, but at least it’ll give you an idea.

I would like you to welcome a new member of the Ryumshin family: Liliana Ryumshina.

Utah is probably the best place to apply for stepparent adoption. The state has recently passed a bill that will give a non-biological parent the opportunity to convince a judge that they have an important role in the child’s life and that to sever the relationship could be harmful to the child. Currently, each state has slightly different adoption laws, though many do allow for stepparent adoption.

The adoption process in Utah is fairly simple, all I had to do is just follow instructions included in Adoption Packet provided by the court. Here’s a quick summary.

Liliana’s front tooth has been shifting for a while now and so we’ve decided to take out today.
