On this day we went to court. At 9:30 am and 10:30 am. At 9:30 we went in for Isaac's trial. His parents did not show up, nor did any other family member. We did not learn any new information as far as where his family was. Trial did not last long at all and the judge terminated rights to the parents. Technically there is a 90 day waiting period before we can file for the adoption. During this time the parents still have NO rights, but if a family member were to come into the picture they can fight for him. We don't have ANY concerns that this will happen! We are waiting on a call back from our lawyer to see about starting the process. The judge said that it will probably not take the full 90 days. Then at 10:30 we went in for Hadleigh's trial and the rights were also terminated to her parents. We found out that the dad is in jail and the mom just got out of jail. The judge WAIVED the 90 waiting period for her so we can go ahead and file papers for the adoption on her. The only thing that is holding us back is that we have to now get an Adoption Home Study done on our house. Once that is complete we can start the paper work. From what the judge said our lawyer is really good and on top of things. We actually found out that she has been calling the CPS caseworker to get the ball rolling! All that's to say that we are super BLESSED by all the prayers from EVERYONE....even people we don't know! Thank you to Raimey's Life Group, Thank you to ALL of our FRIENDS AND FAMILY! Thursday was a great day for us! PRAISE GOD!!
