Do you remember, more than a year ago, when I described that we would need to "start from scratch" with this adoption process? How scary and overwhelming and impossible that all sounded?
Do you remember five months ago when the ruling of the court was appealed by our birth father?
Do you remember almost TWO - YEARS ago, when we met the children and started the process of adopting them?
Truly, truly - "a lamp unto my path" will forever have a strong meaning to me. As I've said before.... what this means to me NOW is.... we are allowed - just enough - light to see our next step. That's it.
Just. Enough. Light.
Now that we have that very important document from CA, saying that the ruling of the court (from our trial in August) is final. That there are no more appeals. We are free to - and today we HAVE -signed the paperwork to re-file for adoption, in the state of NC.
We have everything we need (it seems)...
T and I signed a bunch of papers today, petitioning to adopt (AGAIN), had them notarized, and Fed Ex'd, to our attorney a few hours away, in NC.
We are officially - re-filing.
Our attorney will be asking that the standard 90 day wait be waived for us. (After all, it's been a little more than 90 days already).
We have been told it shouldn't be long now.
I don't think it has hit me yet. I look back over these last two years..... Over our lives. Over it all..... I don't know how to absorb what is happening.
What I thought was impossible.
But.
ALL THINGS are possible.
Aren't they. (yes. that is a statement)
