That has to be extremely frustrating. I hope you find a resolution that gets you what you need (and are legally entitled to) soon.
*****************************
Our beautiful daughter was born in October 2009. Turns out she was quite the miracle. After two years of TTC, diagnosed with DOR. A couple of failed treatment cycles later, we decided to let go of our hope for more biological children and explore adoption.
Man, I was hoping for a better update. I dealt with a real prick of a lawyer during DH's immigration journey so I sympathize. I do hope things start looking up for you soon. When are you guys off to Hawaii?
In two weeks! The boys have the first week of November off from school, so we're taking them to Disney that week, and the next week is our adult-only get-away to Hawaii! I can't wait, I need the escape so bad, I almost don't even feel bad saying that.
Sorry it seems like many of the adults involved really don't have his best interest in mind, which is so disheartening. I hope everything gets settled soon so yall can be done with this!
Wow, how frustrating! How much does M know about all of this drama?
Very little. He knows that he may be older, in the most general sense, but since he doesn't have a concept of time, he doesn't have any idea what import that has. He was also there when I got the initial letter from the school and burst out laughing, because I was so incredulous. He asked me what I was laughing about and I told him, but explained it HAD to be a mistake (which I really believed at the time), we would take care of it, and he shouldn't worry. That's the last he heard of it, and since he's still in the 4th grade, he thinks it's been handled.
I am glad that you are able to shelter him from most of it. I think that I would have burst out laughing as well! It seems so crazy.
Mother of two wonderful boys! Blessed through adoption.
Wow. He sounds like a really pleasure to work with.
Do you have a blog or a link that explains some of the background information surrounding this situation? Sorry, new here.
I can not imagine how frustrating, scary (?? I don't have the right word for this) it must be to not even know for sure your own age/your child's age, among other things.
SarahL77 I typically delete these posts, because I don't want all the details hanging out in cyberspace indefinately while the case is still going on. Could you please delete the part of your above post with the link to the background?
I'd really appreciate it. I have been using this board for support and know some of the posters here since we started our journey back in 2008, which is why I share here, but I am uncomfortable with leaving the posts up forever after everyone reads them. I would just hate for someone involved in the case to find my posts and see my venting. Since our case is pretty unique, it wouldn't be hard to figure out that it's me, you know?
