    • Great news, Greg! That must have been an awfully long time to wait but well worth it in the end.

        Wonderful news, Greg!

              • Thanks for all the kind words. Although the adoption process seemed to take forever, watching Julia grow has flown by.

                  I don't recall reading how old "Julia" is?

                  From newborn? Toddler? What?

                        Was finalizing it a formality? Or was it possible she could have been taken back? That would have been a very difficult wait!

                        • I don't know Greg's sitch but, I had a friend who had an infant that he was fostering on the way to adoption, when the Court awarded custody back to mom who had gotten cleaned up. It was gut wrenching for him.

                          • We were in the same situation, fostering then adoption. We went in from day one planning to adopt, but you have to foster first. (This was done through the county). The possibility that she would be awarded to her birth-mother technically existed for about 14 months, but the mom was so "jacked up" that that was not going to happen. There was no one in the birth mother's family who stepped forward, so we were able to finalize this week. Before Julia, we had a newborn boy who was eventually awarded to his birth parents' family. Similar to SLF's friend, we were devestated.

                            • Greg, I'm glad it worked out. I can't imagine going through that once, and then doing it a second time.
