Finalization Progress - FINALLY!!

in Adoption

Our finalization process seems to be just dragging out.  I have been the main point of contact w/ our attorney but my messages had started to go unanswered and last week DH got frustrated and called...surprise, surprise, there was actually progress! 

That VERY afternoon, the court received ALL of the items that they had listed as outstanding (for over 2 months...our attorney and agnecy said these items had been sent multiple times but court continued to say they were missing them). 

So, last night we got a call from the court invesigator and we are meeting w/ him next weekend...YIPPEE!!  I feel like the ball if finally rolling again and this MIGHT happen by the end of summer or early fall!!

    I hope everything flies by for you now.  I know how frustrating it can be.  The court in Texas lost all of our files and we had to wait and wait to get the termination hearing done out there.  Then we had to wait another 4 months for the finalization.  Ben was 10 months old before we finalized.  Hopefully, all is good now and you can get going.

    My understanding is that this is another mini-homestudy meeting w/ an independent third party.  We were told to a lot about 1.5 to 2 hours for our meeting.  I think they just want to get the feeling DD is in a secure, loving environment, etc.

    I think the next step after this report is submitted to court is that we will be getting a court date for the finalization hearing:)

    Yay!  It feels great, doesn't it?  I too know how frustrating it can be...our finalization process was put on hold for several months after our original adoption worker suddenly quit.  I hope it's smooth sailing from here on out!

    ha ha ha..He told the attorney that he was more than willing to come to his office or the agency attorney's office, pick up the paperwork and deliver them himself to court...pretty much whatever it takes, there is NO reason this should be taking so long...needless to say, it got the necessary attention and court got what they needed:)
