Update on the court hearing...

So I went back after dropping Bear and J off; it is like 5 minutes away. I found the CPS caseworker and slipped in the seat behind her and let her know I was back minus the gold mine and my hubby. She informed me that everything was already over. WHAT!!!! she had told me that it was going to be a while before we were on the stand and that we would probably be one of the last ones seen. UGHGGGGHHHH! Okay that is just frustrating. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE FOR PETE'S SAKE! I know we can request a picture for Bear's scrapbook but she totally does not have to comply with that. I want to know was she crying, was there remorse in her face, did she have any hesitations. Was her heart breaking???? Oh how my heart hurts for her. On his b.day we prayed for her... I cried as I thought of her knowing that she gave birth to him a year ago that day! You know she has to have real vivid memories. Even though it turned out different it doesn't mean that she doesn't have feelings. I have lots of hope for her and I pray for her heart to be captivated by our TRUE FATHER! Please if you remember her pray for her heart to be mended and at peace with where her son is. THank you!

Overall this is what happened (in my absence) in court. The bio mother relinquished her rights and signed a relinquishment in front of the court. We will now be moved to the adoptions unit where we will proceed with adopting. There now starts a 30 day window (Appeal period) for family or anyone to come forward to "claim" him if they so choose. After that 30 days is up then we get to move forward with our own desire to adopt him. We are unsure as to how this works but we have been told that we could have him adopted before Christmas... who knows really. NO body but God knows the plans of this little treasured man.

Please be praying with us that we will have utmost peace and patience in this time to come. It is not easy going through this basically blind folded due to not always being informed of everything going on in the case. I hate that he is a case. I am ready for him to JUST BE OUR SON... no longer a case! Thank you for all the prayers and support. We love and appreciate you all!

****UPDATE ON MOE****
I was informed today that he was seen by our CPS caseworker at their office and she said he looks like he is doing okay... but she said that they cut his hair... awwwwww my little moe isn't moe no mo! I am glad to hear that he seems to be doing okay though. I am going to email another caseworker that was on his case and see if I can't get anymore information about how he is doing. Thanks for the prayers for him also.
