A little Christmas Magic
In less than 1 month our adoption of Arianna will be finalized!!!!!!!!!!! One week ago today the birth parents signed off on their parental rights and we were told it would be a 30 day wait before we could get a court date to finalize the adoption. We really didn't expect to get a date until next year but to our delight the lawyer called and said Merry Christmas your court date will be Dec. 21st !! What a great Christmas present!!!!!
Last monday was hard being there with the birth parents as they signed off. Our lawyer told us usually we wouldn't have to be there but there was just a case in which the BP's signed off and two weeks later the adoptive parents had a falling out and divorced and didn't want to adopt. So the judge just wanted to question us to make sure the marriage was strong and that we still wanted to adopt. Sandy was brought to tears when the judge asked how would feel if something happened and we couldn't Adopt Arianna. The judge was really nice and told us what a cute couple we are and she can't wait to see again in in a month.
After we finished answering questions, The birth parents went in and signed off. There were lots of tears as they came out of the courtroom to leave, we gave hugs and all just cried.
We are so blessed to have meet them and they're giving us the greatest gift of all something that we have been working so hard to become for the past 15 years- Mommy and Daddy to a BEAUTIFUL little Girl ARIANNA!!
So we are counting down the days and enjoying every minute we have with her and look forward to the years ahead.
People have been telling me its fate that the adoption will be finalized just days before Christmas. Two years ago our attorney told us a story a story of a couple that adopted and the baby was born on Christmas eve. Sadly for us the mother lost the child we were to adopt.
When we tried to adopt through the state they kept telling us forget about a baby all the children are older. I told them we didn't care if the child was a newborn we just wanted to have a child young enough to still believe in Santa. We just wanted a little Christmas magic.
Little did we know years later after we had totally given up all hope of ever becoming parents that there was to be some CHRISTMAS MAGIC for us and we'll finally have our little Arianna.
We have been praying and wishing for so long and have cried so many tears and now we are only days away from reaching our dream. This will be the best Christmas of our lives, and our 1st as a FAMILY.
Sandy Arianna and I want to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
We have plenty to be Thankful for this year.
