It's no where near a done deal, but my heart is pumping! Mia's court hearing was rescheduled twice in the last couple of months, but it finally went before a judge, this week. I don't know the ins and outs of her case (most of what I know is from facebook), but parental rights were terminated and a referral for adoption requested. Once an adoption worker is assigned our petition for adoption will be submitted by our case worker. Thankfully, Mia is being assigned to the same agency that our adoption worker represents, so we should avoid the confusion that occurred in LJ's case (we petitioned for him, but then found him on the MARE website a couple months later because our paperwork was lost).
I am trying very hard to be neutral and pray God's best for Mia...but, boy, do I want that to include our family! I have been praying for this sweet girl for 18 months...I was confident that her case would come to this point, now, I just want to bring her home.
All we can do is wait.
Awesome news! Will be praying.

ReplyDeleteMy 2 boys are five years apart and have the same beautiful birthmama. No matter how much we explained and told the story over and over to my oldest son, it wasn't until his little brother came along that he really "got it". A light went off in him, seeing and having his biological sibling (and another black person) come to our family. It is miraculous and I still can't believe I get to be part of this amazing story and life.
ReplyDeleteLots of prayers being sent up for you.
