So it’s a good wait. I just want to have the finalization date, yet, here we wait. The SW is still new at this, so everything takes a little bit longer as she double checks with a more senor SW on all her paperwork before subitting it to the courts and such. So I will continue to keep everyone posted. Thinking happy (and speedy) thoughts!
The 7th was a good day!
So it’s official. I went to the social workers building/meeting area and signed all the legal documentation for adopting Korbin Elias (insert our last name here). His social worker ‘S’ will submit the forms to the court on the 15th of this month and then, best case scenario she could receive our finilization date right then and there. The other social worker ‘M’ said she just filed paperwork last week and received an April 10th finalization date. Wow, that’s really quick. ‘M’ would be surprised if we had to wait until the end of this month. The appointments are always on a Monday or Friday and ‘S’ doesn’t work on Friday so it will definately be a Monday. Maybe the 27th will be our date. That would be splendid. I was kind of bummed though, there wasn’t any paperwork or medical history from his bio’s. I really wanted to be able to have that to give to him so he could have a window on the family that created him. Oh well, sometimes you don’t always get what you want. I’m just so happy to be able to keep him forever and watch him grow into a (hopefully), competent adult.
Here are some photos from our exciting afternoon. Oh, by the way, it only took 30 minutes to sign this heap and stack of papers. Also, Korbin was too funny. He wanted a pen and paper so he could sign everytime I did. Too cute.
I'm really focused and Korbin's 'on edge'
Here I am actually signing the paperwork. I love this photo!
