The second visit on the homestudy went great, all the paperwork is turned in, and we just have to wait until the 30 day advertisement for the unknown birth father (she knows who, but will not tell). The ad ends May 6th, so by the middle of May the adoption should be finalized. Boy after waiting 3 years to get this done, it sure went fast. Plus some other great news is that they may not charge us the entire fee, because they used the homestudy from our 2nd DD who has the same birth mother, and are just amending it.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers along the way.
That is wonderful news and now your family will be complete.
Julia,
That is fantastic!!!! I pray for everything to work as you have dreamed it will.
When are we going to go camping again? We are getting ready to head out to Tennessee for our vacation.
Gas prices and the economy have caused us to change our plans from Wyoming to Tennessee..
From one adoptive mommy (who has been there too) to another adoptive mommy

I agree! I am so happy you are almost done. Please post lots of picture of your new family when you are done! You other daughter is so beautiful, and it's wonderful they have such a special connection together. Godspeed! :#
Yes, pictures !
Congrats on almost being done with this process, I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of you.
Disclaimer : I am NOT addicted to pictures, I just like looking at them. I can go for three hours without looking at a picture !
Congrats and in just a few weeks and another new member!
Oh this is so exciting! Another new little Camper!
I hope everything goes well. Congratulations and Happy Family.
Only 7 days to go !
Thanks everyone. I will try to post pictures, sometimes I slow at getting things done. This is the last two weeks of spring semester at college and final exams are driving me crazy, but a break is in sight. We would really like to go camping, but with only one week between spring and summer semester for me and the girls will still be in school. Hope we get to take a short weekend trip to our favorite close CG, Dan Nicholas park. The girls really love it there.
I really do appreciate all of your support. Although we have been through it twice before, it is still stressful and reading your replies have helped alot.
LoadedCamera, have a great trip and posts pictures so I can do virtual camping (just kidding). Hope all is going well with the new camper.
I will let you know more as we find out more, but it's time to study for tomorrow's exam again before bed. Thanks everyone!
Good luck with the test tomorrow !
When I as at university I never studied for an exam the night before, now if I have to take a test I had rather not go through with that thing go figure :)

Nothing has happened so far, which is good news in that the birthfather did not come forward. Haven't heard anything else from the social worker, I guess it is just the waiting game now. Will call Friday if I do not hear from her before then. Will let you know ASAP.
I've heard you got your very own PU. Have you already picked it up? Have you gone camping yet? Is the weather good enough to go yet? I'm been so busy lately haven't had time to totally catch up. I checked ours out this past weekend, and we still have a leak in the front trunk area. Caulked and added seal, it rained, checked it and it is still leaking. I'm going to scream. Called dealer and got advice to fix it.
Heard from attorney and social worker today. The ads are done, and the attorney is filing to terminate birthfather rights. The homestudy is done and they are mailing a copy to the birthmother.
By the end of the month, we should be finalized. :-() :-() :# :#
Thanks to everyone for your support!:S
Will start a new post when all is said and done.
Long days and hard nights, so it is time to go to bed early.
Goodie Goodie Goodie ! We will need pictures of the new extended family !!!!!
That is certainly OUTSTANDING news!! Can't wait to see pics!
That's great news. can't wait to see pics.
I hope everything keeps moving forward for you. :)
How is it going with the adoption ? Will you let us know ???

My subscription ends tomorrow. If I get the chance to let you know when the adoption finalizes, I definitely will.
The last thing we had to do was file two papers. One has been completed, and the other is in progress. The worst is over.
Birol, I wish you the best with your camper "Finally" and hope you all have lots of great camping trips together. Thanks for your posting also, I get to read more than I get to post. I really enjoyed reading about the things you talked about. Take Care.
Julia
