Well it is official guys, "Little River Dude" is now ours. Went to court this morning and we were granted legal custody and the sad thing is his mother never even showed up for the hearing. She has lost all right to supervised visitation due to her drug addition and failing her drug test. She has 14 days to appeal but the judge said not to worry. Next step will take some time (up to one year) for legal adoption.
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
That's awesome, Jeff! He is so happy with you guys! It's sad that his mom didn't show up but it's probably best that she didn't.Well it is official guys, "Little River Dude" is now ours.
