After 2 1/2 long years of waiting it is finally done. Dakota Kelley Long officially became Matthew Paul Hess on September 4, 2008. It was a great day! We met with Judge Arnold at the Laramie County Courthouse and he signed the adoption papers. It is so wonderful to have Matthew a legal and official part of our family. Matthew is glad to have it all done and to have a new name (he picked this one himself.) We love him so much and feel very lucky to have him as our son!
