Legally Free

In terms of adpotion I thought that that term would give me piece of mind. we took Liam in knowing he was legally free for adption. Parental rights had been termnated etc. First the mystery family member came forward then they stepped back. Then biodad comes forward!!! \his rights have been terminated. So you think that too bad so sad right? Well he has threatened to appeal. Not that he has a legal nor clean and sober leg to stand on. But you have got to be kidding me?!?!?!?!?! Now the fact that he MAY have some Native American in him has popped back up. So again they have to do that geneological search into tribal records. Once the paperwork is submitted by his case worker we have 60 days to sit and worry while the tribe has the opportunity to respond. Chances are they will not take an interest in his case should he even be found to have a tribal affiliaton. But the chance is there.
UGH UGH and triple UGH

Oh my gosh,,, I hate when people do that. I knew a guy who let his kids languish in foster care for 3 years (in 7 different homes) even though several families were eager to adopt them... and then he got custody of them, and now he hardly takes care of them at all, just does the minimum, Makes me sick. If people like that really LOVED their kids, they'd let the kids be adopted, instead of popping up years later and trying to exercise their parental "rights!"
