Third time's a charm as they say. TPR hearing was continued twice, before the Judge had had enough. It was granted eariler this month, and now I wait for up to sixty days for (what the sw's say will be a request for appeal).

There are so many emotions that come into play when this happens. A large part of me is excited/relieved in that we can finally get on with being a family (although emotionally we have really forged a bond that humbles me and leaves me without the words to express) Another part of me is leary of getting too excited (this is why I'm really not talking much on the boards) because bio appealing the decision is a very real possibility, and I have been told to expect it. My girl really wants the adoption to be final by Christmas, and I've told her that I would love that too, that we have to wait on the courts, and that its much more likely that it will be by March of next year instead. I think we are all just ready to move on, and are hopeful but cautiously optimistic at the same time. Thanks for all your good wishes and prayers everyone. I wish this love, this feeling, this outcome for all who are waiting to be matched. :)
Moving right along. :) Hiring an adoption attorney in December. Just waiting for that date to go by first.
I'll know better about finalization after next week.
