While they'd looked into the possibility of adopting Harry as well as Uma, it turned out not to be legally possible for the U.K. That had been disappointing, but it hadn't stopped Arno from making a certificate anyway. In every way that counted, Harry was just as much theirs as Uma was, even if they couldn't put it on a record somewhere. They still wanted to record the fact and make it clear.
So, they'd gone ahead, gotten a nice frame (and one for Uma's legal certificate when that was finalized) and placed the carefully designed to look as authentic and important as possible certificate into it, then placed it in a box and wrapped it up nicely. The certificate had their names and all of the relevant information printed, and giving it to him as soon as possible on his birthday seemed like a good idea, as well as one that should be a little more private, just for their family.
There was a party later, of course, but for now, they had the certificate in a box for him to open, and one more small box was perched on top and wrapped in the same paper. As soon as it was getting close to midnight, they started up to Harry and Uma's part of the house.
Shay glanced at the time on his phone, then, seeing it was about a minute before midnight nodded at Arno, and reached out and knocked, lest they interupt anything by bursting in.
