Last night I was so excited to get this photo of these 2 smiling together, I e-mailed it to both of the boy's attorneys. I just thought maybe sometime it is good to see what they are fighting for....b/c they really only ever see them for the hour we sit in court, and that has been awhile. I know if I had the job they had, I would want to see my clients looking happy and healthy, and together. So, I e-mailed it to them. I know that Zachariah's attorney loves pictures, she takes one of him everytime she sees him.
This morning, I got this e-mail from Christian's attorney.
"Maury, that picture made me cry!!! That is just adorable! This picture shows me even more that they are well worth the fight to keep them together and happy like this! Thank you very much! Love it!!"
Our permanency planning hearing is next week. This will be our court hearing where everyone testifies where the boys will be long-term. I will have to testify my plans, and that I know what I am doing raising these boys with special needs. The judge will make her final decision that the boys will be adopted by us. That is the recommendation by all, so I think things will be o.k. but a lot has gone on with this case....more than they have even let me know about, and we have come close to someone making the decision to split them up several times. I was nervous going into this with 2 different attorneys, but it has been a blessing for us. Zachariah's attorney told me the other day that Christian's attorney has fought VERY HARD for Christian to be able to stay with his brother, and with us. I feel so blessed to have both of them on our side, fighting for our family!!
Aww!! Love it!! I'm saying a little prayer for you!!

Soooo sweet!!! Still praying....
ReplyDeleteIt is so obvious that they are both where they need to be... God has been so good to them. It seems like he created them just to be in your family. They are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI will be praying faithfully leading up to your hearing! I know you're nervous.. and I would be, too.. it's all so technical! ack! It seems certain that you'll walk away from there with a big weight off of your shoulders of knowing that they are going to officially be on the path to become Drapers!
