OK the GOOD news is that the designated relinquishments were signed last Tuesday by both BIO parents to me and my husband! FINALLY, State Adoptions QUIT lagging! I BELIEVE Central Office got tired of MY SCREAMING and letters LOL

It was acknowledged the 1st of December OK that is one more step............NOW the .26 report is complete and on Tuesday the State Adoptions office that HATES me left me a message that we are named as adoptive parents for my nephew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!

BUT now CPS is on the foster parents side and asking that he stay there with him since he has been there since Jan., OH and my mom is going to try and fight it but she has NO legal standing in court. SO she is just a technical gliche.
I have de facto as does the fparents so that gives them SOME say but with State Adoptions on our side we will win........just WHEN? CPS can slow down placement and REALLY I think that has been their plan all along, drag it out till TPR and the fparents get more of a grip SAD but true.

The .26 hearing is Friday and we HOPE the judge recommends placement with us NOW!!!! NOW for me to decide THIS AM, if I drive 12 hours with my 5 kids or stay home ? My dh went out of state for work this AM.
I need to go...........I need to stay home too. POTENTIALLY, I could bring nephew home.........but realistically I think a new hearing will be set and then I will have to drive up again. THIS IS GETTING costly!

I am happy that progress is being made It is just sllllllllllllllowwwwwwwwwwwww.

AND it is hard on my nephew, my kids, and me.
