Triple Ditto - hang in there & don't assume a done deal
My 4 kids' parents both had many chances, as did aunts, uncles and grandparents. Rights for both were TPR'd in 2001, and the kids moved into our house in Jan 2002.
Before the adoption was finalized, the Gparents decided they wanted the kids after all. Social Workers said no, as they were concerned about the GMom, and that they only (a) wanted to take them because their son realized he was really going to lose his kids, and (b) because they wanted the subsidy. (Bdad had 4 other kids living with 3 other moms - he now has fathered a total of 9 kids, none of them who live with him).
Thank goodness the CW's saw thru this last minute maneuver.

If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.
