Wow,congratulations. I just saw your time line. I can't imagine the frustrations you have had over the years. Has your dd been with the same foster family the entire time or is fc there like it is here, bouncing the kids all over the place?

No foster care, the same orphanage .
It was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do , say goodbye and watch her go back there.
Thats the reason we only made one visit trip, it was too hard and there was a chance the adoption would not ever get done.
But thank God the judge ruled it could go through.
