Talking In the Home Stretch!

After 7 long months last week bio-dad TPR'ed and this week they brought bio-mom to court and she TPR'ed as well! That means that Princess Peanut will soon be a part of my forever family.

Remember that she came home with me straight from the hospital after being born with drugs in her system and bio-mom having no prenatal care. birthmom dropped out of the picture when Peanut was 2 months old and just showed up now when they found her in the local jail.

I can't tell you how happy I am with the whole situation! Now I just have to wait 3 months until our court date and find an adoption attorney.

It's Official!

We had our adoption hearing this week and the Princess Peanut is legally my daughter! I sleep much better at night knowing that no one can/will come and take her away from me!

There is something miraculous about looking into that little face and knowing that we now officially belong to one another!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
How exciting. I can only imagine the sense of relief you must feel at knowing she'll be with you forever. I'm really happy for you. Dif her parents voluntarily relinquish or was it a TPR hearing and that TPR was the ruling?

There was a TPR hearing (2 of them actually), but both parents voluntarily relinquished so we didn't have to wait for the appeal time.

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.
