The mediated agreement will still stand as-is and we won’t be able to adopt our sweet baby boy for at least another year. Why would she not just sign over her rights? It’s something that I will never understand, but functionally understand that she thinks of him as a bargaining tool. She believes we “stole” him (and E. Stone) from her and signing adoption papers would be giving us what we want and she just can’t do that… bottom line, “best interest of the child” means nothing to her. Best interest of her and retaliation mean a lot.
We are looking at this as a huge answered prayer. We were fearful with the mediated agreement. We were pretty sure that she wouldn’t hold up to her end of the deal, but there was always a chance. And, there still is a chance, but it sounds a bit more solid. Do I wish it was all over? Yes. But I am also so thankful for the ways that God has, and continues to, provide for our family. And I know that he is still in complete control, meaning that I have to relinquish mine.
I have lots of questions, as I am sure you all do as well, but for now this is all that we know. I am going to place a call to Cash’s lawyer and CASA worker to see if there is anything we can do to force her hand a bit – just to avoid us having to shell out so much money at the end of the road on lawyers. I see it as a long-shot, but it wouldn’t hurt to try. We’ll keep you posted!
In the meantime, read Matthew 21:22. God answers prayers and he is good ALL the time!

I gave you an award! Check it out on my blog :)
Cash is in the best place possible...no matter what his birthmom thinks. You know how patience is NOT my thing so hey, we can wait (and be miserable together) But at least at the end of YOUR wait...you get a baby boy!!! You know I'm praying and here if you need to vent. But BE THANKFUL!!! This is what you wanted!!! Blessed :)
It's obvious you guys are headed in the right direction, and you're right, God is good all the time. Your patience, strength, and faith are amazing. Cash will never doubt how much you guys LOVE him and want him.
That is AWESOME news! I'm so excited for all of you and will keep praying that it will work out.
Cash is EXACTLY where he belongs! Both E. Stone and Cash lucked out when they got Heath and Brit for parents,Holden also. All the boys are going to have amazing lives because they have amazing, loving parents that will do anything for them.
I admire your strength and patience. The Lord has brought you and Heath together to face these trials head-on; perfect match.
Love,
Unca Marc
It doesn't have to be said that they boys don't have the best mother n she has made lots of mistakes but those boys have a right to know their birth mother and how dare u say it is a good thing that they won't. IT IS A TERRIBLE AND TRAGIC THING!!! I'm not arguing that the boys don't belong w/ you as I'm sure they do BUT every child has a right to know their birth parents. When they get older they will have ?'s that u can not answer only their parents will be able to answer. I know this from personal experience. Oh and did u ever think that maybe she said she wouldn't see the boys anymore b/c she doesn't want to confuse/hurt them anymore than she already has???
