We had our hearing in front of the appeals court yesterday.We found out alot of new information and it surprises me that afterwards I was thinking that GODS presence was there and his hand in this was once again shown to me during the hearing and afterwards.The afterwards thing may have to be on another post.I still cry when I think about my daughters GOD given heart.She is so unbealivable.I wish I could be as giving as she showed me last night. The Appeals court once again gave every chance in the world to the Bfather and NC.The difference this time however is this court showed us treamendous respect and explained why they did what they did. It also surprises me to read Stacys post and hear her say that she hopes GOD stands beside her. I still believe 07 will be a good yr and now believe Stacy that your timing is perfect and GOD will show his presence in your court room also.You to Christie. They called NC and the bfathers attorney for a month and never got a call back and they never responded at all to the appeal.The judge entered the room and we stood and he told us to sit down because we were not going to start at 9:30 like it was scheduled.He said we would wait some extra time to make absolutely certain that the opposition was not going to show up.They did not show up.WE finally got our day in court and the bmom was there and got to testify and my wife testified and our attorney finally got to put on record that this is about a child who if she was to be uprooted from the only home that she has ever known would traumatize her beyond any words. We will have their decision in a week.Our attorney said that he was brief because he knows we have won the appeal and sometimes when you know you have won the best thing to do is sit down and shut up. We also found out that the judge in the lower court that sent this to NC is no longer working there.Why we do not know,But there ya go-GOD shows his hand.Now we feel better because when it is sent back to the lower court we will not have the same judge. Thankyou all for praying and supporting us even when we have not asked. Stacy HE will be there Christie If you have not seen his hand in your case yet believe me it is there.You have gotten this far only because there is only one set of footprints in the sand. We have given up and have alternate plans if the court system will not protect our angel.In doing so we may have done what GOD has been waiting for all along.LET ME HANDLE IT. GOD BLESS

THANK YOU, LORD!!! I was shaking when I opened your post, so afraid to hear something negative yet again. Instead you have given hope to Christie and Stacey and have shown what a strong family you are. I cannot wait to open up another post from you one week from now that says you are done with the court system and can now start to be the family, at ease with life and in faith with God, that you have wanted for so long. Bless you and your darling little girl. :hippie: Your friend,

We will have their decision in a week.
Wouldn't it be great if all of us who have gotten to know each other through these contested adoptions could meet up about a year from now (after we all recover from the $$$ issues), on a beach, with all of our FINALIZED CHILDREN???????? Wouldn't it???????? In the meantime, you are all always in my heart and thoughts throughout my day. I cry for you and pray for you. Christie, Daddy's Angel, SadMomma, don't get lost on the way to a miracle. Hang in there. Love you all,

Well we got the court order yesterday.So far we have won the first step which is NO ONE can remove the child from us until the appeals court rules on the jurisdiction.No date is set for that. If you remember the NC court ruled (which we were not invited to) that she be returned to NC and gave legal rights to the Bfather to come and get her in Oct of 06. In 4 months he never even attempted it.I do not think I need to explain why. Even though it is only a small portion of a victory the court papers made us very happy because for the first time in going on 4 yrs we and NC will have papers that actually discuss our angel and how well she is doing and everything she is involved in and praise GOD it said that removing her would cause her tremendous emotional stress due to a life style that she has known since her birth. It also states that the bfather knew of the plans before she was born and therefore her name on the birth certificate bears our last name. It further states that the appeals court does not normally grant a stay but in this case it is clear by the evidence that the childs best interest must be addressed because of the complaintants refusal to appear and show interest in the child. IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF (HER NAME) THAT SHE REMAINS WITH THE ONLY FAMILY SHE HAS EVER KNOWN until this court rules on the appending jurisdiction. Finally we have it on record and it makes me very happy that the bfather will get a copy so that maybe he will drop his anger for the bmom and think about this little girl. GOD BLESSPS We did not have to lie to get these results.
