Legal Stuff...

Well, it looks like we drove a six hour round trip for nothing. We showed up (well, Abbie and her mom showed up) at the Oakland county courthouse yesterday to only find out that the birth father's attorney had called in and they decided to schedule a hearing before a judge on December 4th. They are also going to be appointing Kylie an attorney of her own so they can independently decide on what is in her best interest. The lawyer that LDSFS uses said that she's very confident that the birthfather's rights will be terminated at that hearing. There seems to be enough dirt on him that it shouldn't be a problem and she said that they've won cases on much less than they have with him. Oh well, there's nothing I can really do about it except for hang out in Michigan for a few more weeks. Here are some picture I took of her today on the bed. She would look everwhere else except at me! What a cutie she is... I love this darling gal!

goodluck with the hearing, I'm sure it'll go well. I love the little looks on her face :)

That makes me so sad that the birth father would do that. It's too bad because it just makes it so you have to stay longer. I hope that everything goes well at the hearing. We are praying for you!

Tamara,
Does Jared have a pink text blog too? Kylie is looking good - can't wait to meet her.

I'm sorry to hear that, how frustrating! Seems to me that it won't be difficult for the judge to see where her best interests will be met. I'll be praying for you.
