Adoption ROLLING THROUGH

We received word today that our hearing is Monday, April 18th... We will be married exactly 3 years and 3 months on that day. March 1st was the first publication date. March 1st my divorce was also final. We had 3 publications with no response. Our hearing is with a judge on the 3rd floor. I am officially changing my lucky number from 6 to 3... Good things happen in 3's for us??

Anniversary and Coincidence of sorts...

My divorce papers were signed by the judge on 2/28/07 and final on 3/1/07. Today it has been 4 years since I found that out. I got a call today that the notice of adoption/termination of parental rights will be in the L.A. Tim.es for the first time tomorrow, exactly 4 years from the finalization of the divorce. It will run tomorrow and then the 2 following Tuesdays. It is my understanding that he will have 30 days from tomorrow (the 1st run) to respond. Otherwise, we just get a court hearing to go before the judge to finalize things.

Adoption in the works...

So we met with an attorney (thank you dear friend) on Monday to start the step-parent adoption process for Wendell to adopt Alex and Breyna. The petition was filed today and we just have to serve Felix via publication and wait for our hearing, I guess it will be about 2 mos total. Since I have no idea of his address and he won't answer any contact attempts, we just have to put it in the paper in LA since that was where he last was. I'm hoping and praying that this is an easy transition for all of us. We have a temple goal and its within reach. :)
