Our Mess
Here is an update on our mess of an adoption. To catch you up....we were lied to for over a year. We were never submitted to PGN. NO BMI! No nothing since family court. Well....in May I went to meet with the judge who was assigned our case. He allowed sweet Hudson to stay with his foster family! Thank God! We went back down in July and met with the judge again. He wanted to meet with our notary and the birthmother. Our notary went and gave his declaration and we finally found our birthmother about a month or two months ago. It is all sort of a blurr. The judge now wants to have a hearing where PGN and CNA are there too when he meets with the birthmom. We are thinking that the judge is going to rule on our case, but who knows at this point. OUr hearing date is set for April 2010. Than is FIVE months away. OUr new attny is working on trying to get the date moved up. Hopefully he can make this happen. He has a meeting with PGN to see if they can help with this. The judge wants everyone there so they cannot appeal his decision. I am sooooo upset at this point. How can they keep dragging this out? So much for the best interest of the child. I just don't see what the problem is....birthmom wants us to adopt him, we want to adopt him...seems cut and dry to me. I know with all the stuff that has gone on there, it is not that cut and dry, but my heart aches so much theses days and I am having such a hard time staying strong. We will be in Guatemala again for Christmas and I am excited for that, but still so very heartbroken that yet again we will have to leave without him. Please pray for strength for me and DH. This has been very rough on us and everyone else stuck in this mess. I pray everyday for those of us still in process and would love to be able to just fix it. I know God has a plan for us and our son, but it certainly doesn't make it any easier to handle all the stuff that just keeps getting thrown at us.

Oh Carrie I am so sorry for your family and for sweet little Hudson. I know that I have said it several times before, but stay strong...God hears our prayers and he has a plan. I know it's not easy for you and I would just want to scream if it was me! I'm happy though that your new attorney is actually working towards a solultion...thank God for that!
I am thinking about and praying for your family, Hudson and his birth family. This has to be unfathomly hard on all! But again...stay strong...it will happen! It will happen!

Carri I am so sorry for the long rocky journey you have had. You and DH are a testament to the ability of the heart to love beyond all obstacles. I am praying for good news in your case, and that Hudson is home in your arms forever very soon. Many hugs to you tonight...

Carrie, I'm sorry for the big mess you are in. I know how it felt to leave Abe when that plane left the runway returning from our visit trips. I cannot imagine how it must feel for you, especially when you leave in December.
There is slow progress in your case. Very slow but it is progress. I hope and pray that your hearing gets moved up!

Your heart must be breaking and your head must be aching. I'm sorry you're going through this. Hugs to you and your family. Take care of yourself. Do many kind things for yourself. The stress of this must be overwhelming.

As I read your post, the anxiety in side of me built up. So, I stopped and prayed for you and your family as well as for all who are waiting for their babies to come home.
I am truly sorry for what you are going through and I will continue to pray for you.

This is maddening. I'm so so sorry you are going through this nightmare and that Hudson's well-being is being ignored. I'm sure he's in good hands with his FF, but the best interest here is to establish permanence quickly and it's sickening how clearly that is ignored by those with power.
Many prayers for strength and patience for you and DH and for wisdom and compassion for the judge and others involved.
