We have had a lot of people ask about how the adoption procedure is going so here is a break down.
We had to wait for six months after placement before the finalization procedures could begin. Finalization takes place in the courts where they officially terminate the birth parents rights and confer them on us. Well, our six month mark came and went last October. The birth father, who had said previously he would have no objection to signing the termination paperwork, has left town and now we don't know where he is. So plan "B" is to terminate his rights in court which is a longer process (which don't get me wrong I agree with but it is frustrating).
We heard back this week finally that they have a court date set...in March! I know it's not that far but we are tired of waiting. As soon as finalization happens we can bless Bailey into the church and take her to the temple to be sealed to us. So wish us well in March, hopefully, nothing else goes wrong.
It must be hard to wait--but know we're all praying for you.
