I am proud to say that on July 19th 2017, the
adoption is now official FINAL!!!! I received the court documents in the mail
after my case worker emailed me to inform me that everything is done!
How did we get there, well of course I was blessed to
receive the Show Hope Adoption Grant. After that I still had a balance that I
was paying monthly on until paid. I finished that Spring of this year. I was
referred to an attorney via the adoption agency. Contacted her and got the ball
moving on finalizing…which basically a lot of paper work from me, my attorney
and adoption agency to the court to approve. Thank the Lord the fight is over
and we can breathe easy. HOWEVER, as I stated before, part of the agree to this
‘open’ adoption is bi monthly visit with the birth parents in a local inside
setting. However after some recent issues with the birth parents, my case
worker will set up the visits and will be there let it be at the agency or
elsewhere. SO a sigh of relief for me right now.
After a long fight for babygirl, she was 4 months old when I
bought her home until now…3 year old. WOW right. I never thought I would see
the light and the end of this long journey. Blessed and amazed to say the
least. Over emotionally feelings of joy, anxiousness, and continuing being the
best mom and forever family for my babygirl. Some has asked me, would I do it all
over again… YES I WOULD!!!!!!!! I have nothing but high praise for Children’s
Home Society of VA staff, their attorneys, etc. as well as Show Hope Grant Organization.
Thank you to all who read, kept up (even when I was not
posting on my blog often as I would have want too), said prayers for us…I truly
appreciate it from the bottom of my heart from the moon and back. Much love.
If you or someone you know interested in adoption do research first, read books on adopting infants, older children, etc. The more knowledgeable you are when you start the process, the better.
Do not be nervous or scared if you are a single adult. I did it all by myself with NO regrets. So can you. remain positive through out the entire process. Well that's it. *SMILE*
