Nicholas is offically our son as of January 12th, 2005. It seems weird to say offically our son. I guess I have always thought of him as our son since he came into our lives at 8 days old. He is now 8 1/2 months old. You know you worry to death about everything that can go wrong between the time you decide to adopt and the time you go before the judge. It only took about 3 minutes before the judge and it was over. I was amazed.
I want to say something about Nickie's Bmother. She loves Nicholas very much. We have a open adoption. She is young and she has fallen love with a new guy. He does not agree with open adoption. Her foster dad does not agree either. They think that she needs to step aside and let Nickie grow up without her so he won't be confused. She said that she has tried to explain to them but they just don't get it. She finally got to visit this last thursday. I picked her up and took her home. I have a feeling that they are going to have a big influence on her. I pray that she has enough strength to fight them on this. I want Nicholas to know his Birthmother. I know that I could tell him that she loved him when she gave him to us to adopt as ours and that she still loves him but it would be so much better coming from her. Does anyone else have this problem with Birthmother's family not wanting them to have contact? If so what do you do just leave it alone and see what happens or keep having contact with her. I am the one that has been making the contact the last couple of months. I think on this last visit I kind of pressured her into it. I told her this was for Nicholas,not for me or her. I know she loves him and she wants to see him but she tries to please whoevers house she is in at the time. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that the adoption was final and to get any feed back on his Bmother.
