I am the one in the contested adoption for now almost 23 months...We are filing through our attorneys for a court date. I hope and pray to God this is the right thing to do. I just cannot see prolonging this out any longer. This is the hardest thing we could ever go through in our entire lives. I am crying posting this. I have been strong, or try to be throughout this whole process, but sometimes its just impossible. I cannot imagine us living without our angel...He is our whole world!! I think 23 months is more then a sufficient amount of time for the birth father to have done something. I told my family and friends and everyone is praying. My mom did not want this to go to court she keeps saying leave it be...only because the pain of losing her grandson will kill her...She babysits him everyday...My God this judge needs to realize all the heartache and pain this would cause to everyone...especially our angel if he is taken from us. I feel in my heart there is no way this birth father will get him...I just hope to God my feelings are right. I always felt God would send us a little miracle, and I know this is our angel he was placed with us for a reason. There is no greater amount of love that we share as a family!!! Please everyone pray,pray,pray for us....I am not sure when this will go to court...I am soooo scared..I feel prayer will keep us going and I have faith God will be standing by our sides...I need all of you guys to keep me lifted in spirit..because God knows this angel is our everything!!!:wings:

You ARE doing the right thing....stay strong....it will be over soon. One thing that helped keep me going was the vision of my son as he grew up...starting school, ect... I had a 2 1/2 year battle with child abusers (convicted) & the suggestions of which relatives he should go to. (thankfully all relatives had criminal historys) CPS still did homestudies, but every home suggested was denied. They even did one on a 17 year old relative that never met him just to please the court. Again, stay strong-you are doing the right thing.

In a contested adoption, does a judge ever look into the birth father's background? Is any of that taken into consideration? Would you think at this point after being with us all this time there could still be a chance of us losing him all together? What are the odds of a hopeful adoptive couple gaining final adoption if this has been going on for over a year, well for us longer?
