Roll with it baby...

Hello everyone. I know I am fired for not updating the blog in a while. Everything sort of happened in a whirlwind! Mediation did not produce an open adoption. Birth mother showed her true colors during mediation and it did create an accurate picture for many of the third parties regarding her mental illness.

There were hearings the day after mediation and at that time, the judge denied the mother's appeal to have Elli returned. She also ordered a new psychological evaluation, and allowed a deposition of our expert witness (an attachment therapist) at the state's expense. The trial was moved to June 15th, to allow time for the new psychological and additional records to be provided. CASA and guardian ad-litem now seem to be in support of termination after the mediation. We just received the new psychological on birth mom and our case is looking stronger than ever.

Thanks to all for your support! The case can't be moved around any more---June 15th is it! Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers~ We're just trying to roll with it and keep our hearts and minds on the big picture...
