….Legally Free!! The termination hearing was held Friday afternoon. It was scheduled for 1:30, and we all waited until 2:15 for the parents to show up, and they never did, nor did any of their family members. The judge heard the testimony from the social worker regarding the details of the case, and decided it was in the kids’ best interest to sever parental ties and sign the termination orders. It was a relief for us, that is for sure, although very sad that no one from their bio family cared enough to show up. Little Guy and Baby Girl are now going to be officially known as Daniel and Gretchen! And finally, here is a photo of the two little ones!
The next step is to be assigned an adoption case worker. Then we have a few months of waiting for all the paperwork to go through. Hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait!
And we’ll be back in court on Monday and Tuesday for Little Man’s case, and hopefully we’ll be able to send out an e-mail on Tuesday or Wednesday announcing the same thing for him – that he is legally free.
