Thoughts, prayers, and positive energy needed!

Well, it's been a while since I have posted, and I thought maybe I should take some time to update everyone on our crazy lives!

Little Buddy and Baby Girl are still with us. It has been 7 months. At this point, it looks like we will be able to adopt them. We have a hearing on March 7. This is when the judge will decide to terminate reunification services or give the birth parents more time to complete the required steps to get the kids back. DCFS will be recommending that reunification services be terminated. The judge has the final say, regardless of any recommendations given. If the judge terminates services, the parents are able to relinquish their rights or they can appeal the decision and then it will go to trial. If the parents relinquish their rights, we would be able to finalize an adoption in the next month or so. If the appeal, we have no idea when we would be able to finalize, we have to wait for the legal process to play out.

Here's where we need help. We need lots of thoughts, prayers, and positive energy coming our way. We are hopeful that everything will go our way, quickly. We, mainly the kids, need to be able to move on. It is so hard and confusing for them to go to visits with their birth family.

We will be having a family fast on Sunday, March 3rd. If anyone would like to join us in that, we would defiantly appreciate it. Many people have told us that we are in their prayers and we are so grateful to be able to surround ourselves with such amazing people. We love you all. Thank you for all the support through our adoption journey. We would not have able to get through it without all the support!
