Closer to Fine

We had a major development in our attempt to adopt Alex today. For the past few months we've gone to different court hearings, only to find out that the birth mom wanted to try to get Alex back. With her checkered past we merely saw this as a minor inconvenience, something that would drag the process out. Today was just another court hearing, but then the impossible happened. The birth mom relinquished her rights to Alex!!! Tara and I couldn't be happier as it looks like our path to adding Alex to our eternal family is moving forward. There are still several things that have to be accomplished before we can legally adopt Alex, but if all goes well we should be sealed to our little boy by the end of February!
