Almost forgot!!!!

OK, looking at my last post titled "already 1/10" I realized with a start that it is really 1/11. Anyhow - I guess I'm just a day behind!

I forgot to mention the very good news we got this week. We had questionable parentage on Lucas. Shortly after his birthday, we got the news that a man had come forward and stated that he might be the dad so he wanted a DNA test. We did the test in early December and found out this week that he is NOT the father. I can only think of the Maury Povich show in this instance as I can really picture him with the envelope yelling the final results to the clients on stage.

Basically, that this guy is not the father clears the path for us to adopt Lucas. If he had been the father, they would have had to give him a caseplan to work, wait for him to fail or succeed and the plan accordingly. With him out of the picture, it looks like the court hearing on 3/2 will free the baby up for us to begin adoption proceedings. His adoption should be complete by the end of the year.

So I guess there is still good news in the world that far outweighs the bad.
