Talking Judge Approved TPR!!!!!

My entire family is walking on cloud nine! Although we all have been down with the flu and haven't been able to really celebrate yet, it doesn't take away our joy! On Valentine's Day we had our trial date for TPR and the judge ruled to terminate rights! What could have been the worst Valentines Day ever became the best ever. It was the hardest thing I ever had to sit through in my life. My husband and I were given De Facto Parent Status so we were sitting up at the table along with the bio parents.....awkward. But in the end our SON will never leave us!!!!! He is home forever!!!!! We have had him since he was 3 mos old and he is now 8mos. and such a baby doll and a Daddy's boy, no matter how hard I try to get him to be a Mommy's boy. Maybe that will change when he gets older. LOL!

God is good and I give Him all the praise and glory for this one!!!!!!

That was quick! My A1's TPR trial (trial because one parent refused to voluntarily relinquish) took 2 days and we didn't get a judge's ruling for 90 days.

Here's hoping that now TPR is complete the adoption will be finalized soon.

I can't believe you moved from placement to TPR so quickly. You're soooo lucky! Congrats!

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.
