Wanted to share with all of you who have been in this situation with us that we got some very good news just this morning. OUR ADOPTION IS FINAL!!!!! The head judge dismissed all of birthfather's objections to our adoption and made it final as of today. He can still appeal, of course, but at least he knows he will not win at this point. If someone wants to tell me how to add a photo, I will send one of our kids because I haven't done that until now because Natalie wasn't final yet. HUGS TO ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I just hope you will all very soon have equally wonderful news to share with us. :love:

I am so happy for you!!! That is just wonderful....I can only imagine the relief you must feel. You are just so very, very blessed....That just gives the rest of us more faith and hope that soon we will also have the peace you now know and deserve!!! May God Bless you and your family....:flowergift:
Thanks, all of you. I was hoping that my good news would lift all of you. Hope is a wonderful thing. It's been a long road, one that we did not expect, but now we can breathe a little easier. Of course she's walking now and INTO EVERYTHING. I keep wondering why I'm gaining weight instead of losing it!! But thanks again for all of your support and being happy for us. We sure are.

That is very good news.At this point I can only know what that feels like through you but when I think about what it must feel like I smile.I feel that 07 is going to be a very good year and it is starting right now.
Merry Christmas and may GOD bless you and your family.
THANKYOU for sharing your news.
WONDERFUL Josie!
I can't tell you how GLAD I am for you. Have you experienced relief? Like a big weight has been lifted off your shoulders? Like you can begin to more enjoy life and your sweet baby? I want to feel like that so badly.
I'm so excited for you!!! This gives us hope that maybe some of ours will turn out okay as well.
Please stay in touch with us.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad Momma, thanks for your kind words. Do NOT give up. I used to work at an adoption agency and I remember more than once an adoptive mom calling me, losing hope and wanting to give up and within days, they were placed. You've been through so much but you're strong and prayers are so powerful. Praying.
Christie, Stacey, thank you so much for your support. Daddy's Angel and others also. It's so good having this board of others that are going through it.
I think we always felt she would be ours but the doubt always nagging in a part of your brain that you can't turn off, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes in the middle of watching your child laugh and play, sometimes in the middle of church or the grocery story. The relief is almost unexplainable. I think we're still in shock because we didn't know it would happen this way.
Hang in there, guys. The best is yet to come. I'm still here checking the board and rooting and praying for all of you.
Big hugs,
Josie

I came back to your post today to remind myself that these things do end. For some reason I am having a hard time today - my sweet boy is having a great time and loving Christmas and I feel immeasurable joy and then that sinking feeling.

I am so very happy for you. I can't begin to imagine the relief feeling and hope the shock is wearing off for you and the reality of finalization is settling. I'm just so glad for you - and thank you for giving me hope!
