We have news, News NEWS

We finally had our court hearing on the 9th. After 2 1/2 hours in the courtroom, the judge told us that he needed to review everything before issuing his verdict. Which we FINALLY got last Wednesday. The judge has decided that the parents would have their rights terminated for ALL 5 of the kids in the family. (Joshua and Jeremiah have an older brother and two older sisters that are also in the system) They now have 20 days to file an appeal, and than after that we can officially start the adoption process. As you can see we aren't done with the whole process YET, but we are rounding 3rd and heading towards home plate...... YAH!!!!

Wow, you must be proud of yourself, ruining another family's life. You should post about it at fireviews.com and see if anyone else is interested in the topic

Franna, we celebrate with you. I have great empathy for the boys' parents, but I see the twins receiving love, attention, food (!), and security. I remember how small and insecure they were when you got them. Accountability lies with those who fail to carry out basic parental responsibilities.
Interesting that the blog posting was deliberately attempting to ruin your joy.
